There’s
no doubt, he was doing all right
Had a brand new house and a beautiful wife
Working day shift at the factory
Taking evening classes towards a college degree.
Wasn’t his nature, so it took me by surprise
When I read it in the paper, it didn’t seem right
He’d had a few drinks with the boys after work
Drove through a red light, somebody got hurt
CHORUS:
He’s a Good man, Done a bad thing
Just one mistake, brought a lifetime of change
Solid reputation, tattered and stained
’Cause a Good man, Done a bad thing
What started out as innocent fun
Took one soul to heaven, left another man stunned
Lost his freedom, lost a good job
Just can’t lose the guilt that keeps him tied in a knot
CHORUS
Later this year he’ll get a second chance
Won’t be easy, due to circumstance
In spite of the hard work and effort he makes
Some will never forget his mistake
CHORUS
END TAG:
He’s a good man, Done a bad thing |
