The Good Ones

Been down that same old road

Too many times not to turn

Been reading those same old manuals

To know when the lesson’s learned

I’ve been through this so many times

Still I can’t get it ’round my head

Once it’s over I feel it all

And it’s too late to retrieve what’s dead

I stand in awe of time

I can’t bring it back

The good ones used to die young

Now they all just leave town

It’s still a sad thing

But they can always come back

And I could follow them

But I probably won’t

The big empty beyond

Scares and lures me

The stars way up above

Laugh and curse me

The safe haven is a lonely place

Where very few are allowed in

The ones I trust have a bigger lust

To find a new way to begin

I stand in awe of time

I can’t bring it back

The good ones used to die young

Now they all just leave town

It’s still a sad thing

But they can always come back

And I could follow them

But I probably won’t

Yeah!

The good ones used to die young

Now they all just leave town

I stand in awe of time

I can’t bring it back

The good ones used to die young

Now they all just leave town

It’s still a sad thing

But they can always come back

And I could follow them

The good ones used to die young

Now they all just leave town

It’s still a sad thing

(It’s still a sad thing)

But they can always come back

And I could follow them

(Follow them)

(They can always come back and I could)

Follow them

(Follow them)

But I probably won’t
