good to be back

(Album: shot in the dark - 2023)

Leaving red tail lights
Sure did leave me blue
Spent ten Friday nights
Doing what broken hearts will do

I picked the Jack up to chase the lonely
I stayed home playing sad songs only
I'm on the up now, it's just a memory
And I gotta say it's good to be

Good to be back in the back of a bar
Same old me but a brand-new start
Drug my heart through a little bit of trouble
But that ain't why I'm sipping this double

It's good to see that good times ain't gone
Hey, old friend, it's been too long
Yeah I'll admit it for a minute I went and got a little off track
But it's good to be back

Yeah it's good to be back

I spent too much time
Down on Heartbreak Road
So I turned around
Headed for the neon glow

I'm drinking José instead of whiskey
I'm playing Motown instead of Whitley
I'm on the up now, it's just a memory
And I gotta say it's good to be

Good to be back in the back of a bar
Same old me but a brand-new start
Drug my heart through a little bit of trouble
But that ain't why I'm sipping this double

It's good to see that good times ain't gone
Hey, old friend, it's been too long
Yeah I'll admit it for a minute I went and got a little off track
But it's good to be back

Yeah it's good to be back

It's good to be back in the back of a bar
Same old me but a brand-new start
Drug my heart through a little bit of trouble
But that ain't why I'm sipping this double

It's good to see that good times ain't gone
Hey, old friend, it's been too long
Yeah I'll admit it for a minute I went and got a little off track

But it's good to be back in the back of a bar
Same old me but a brand-new start (it's good to be back yeah)
Drug my heart through a little bit of trouble
But that ain't why I'm sipping this double

It's good to see that good times ain't gone
Hey, old friend, it's been too long
Yeah I'll admit it for a minute I went and got a little off track
But it's good to be back
