Good lyrics
by Jason Isbell
[Verse 1]
You better watch yourself this time
Are you waiting in a long line
Of kicking off a slow climb?
I guess the devil wouldn't have you
But you're used to what you're used to
You always seem to somehow make it through
[Pre-Chorus]
I know I let myself go a bit
I try to lay low, but it's hard to be alone
I know I never take my own advice
Chased a couple rollin' dice somewhere I don't belong
[Chorus]
And I can't make myself be good, I wish I could
Somewhere my conscience turned to petrified old wood
And I can't make myself do right on Friday night
When all these shadows, they get bigger and bigger in the light
[Verse 2]
Another night, another rope burn
Well, I guess that it was my turn
To wash a little pain down
Maybe you were just a decoy
It doesn't matter much to me, boys
You covered up the voices I don't want to hear
[Pre-Chorus]
I let myself go again
I tried to lay low, but then it's hard to be alone
I know I never take my own advice
I get tired of playin' nice and I cut right to the bone
[Chorus]
And I can't make myself be good, I wish I could
Somewhere my conscience turned to petrified old wood
And I can't make myself do right on Friday night
When all these shadows, they get bigger and bigger in the light
[Chorus]
I can't make myself be good, I wish I could
Somewhere my conscience turned to petrified old wood
And I can't make myself do right on Friday night
When all these shadows, they get bigger and bigger in the light
[Refrain]
And bigger in the light
