A Goddamn Mess

CLICK HERE TO HEAR THE SONG

Don't want no fancy house, 

Don't want no fancy car,

Don't want no fancy woman,

Don't want to be a star.

Never wanted money,

Just what I could earn,

Never asked to understand,

More than I can learn.

I'm a man so full of goodness,

Always done my best,

Can't say how I became,

Such a goddamn mess.

One time I had a woman,

Said her love was real,

I never could believe her,

Cause I don’t know how that feels.

Did my best to keep her,

But my woman didn't stay,

Said she couldn't be,

With a man who felt that way.

I told her

I'm a man so full of goodness,

Always done my best,

Can't say how I became, 

Such a goddamn mess.

One time I had a child,

Sweet as sweet can be,

My woman took my child,

So far away from me.

Can't cut a hole in water,

Tears are always wet,

One more thing you can rely on,

Is what you can't forget,

I'm a man so full of goodness,

Always done my best,

Can't say how I became,

Such a goddamn mess.
