about

Written by Charlie Roth SESAC Charlie Roth Music

‘Good’ starts out a song about a guy who falls into my band stuff one night, which in my long career as a barroom bard has happened several times. My friend Al is a real good guy who got a lot too loaded that night. I think that most of us have been there at one time or another. I was perhaps also making a case for sensible politics. People like to argue and buy into the idea that you are either right or left. That is everybody right is wrong or vise versa. They like to call each other stupid which never helps anything. I like to think that everyone wants basically the same things. Taking the high road when we disagree is one of the messages here. I wish everybody would just chill especially on Facebook. Try a little Love for God sake, or try a little God for Love’s sake, same deal.

lyrics

Good

Last night Al fell into the band
Took out a guitar and a mic stand
He’d been dancing with Diane
had a dram glass in his left hand

But the years been kinda rough
Perhaps he’s just lost it or his job sucks
Might be trying to drown his sorrow
I bet his head will hurt tomorrow

Chorus
Most people want to be good
They’d be good if they could
You might see em down a wrong way
You could’ve caught em on a bad day
Most people want to be kind
Try a little love and they should
might step a bit out of line sometimes
most people want to be good

Besides some bullies on the block
Hitler and Stalin and Saddam Hussein
Most people try to do the right thing
Help keep the world from going insane

It aint getting any easier to
Rise above all this insanity
Take the high road when we disagree
Have some more faith in humanity

Chorus
