The Good Parts

(álbum: The Songwriter Tapes, Vol. 2 - 2023)

I'm probably a little too quick to get to the bottom of a glass
Probably say I'm sorry a little too slow and get pissed off too fast
My stubborn side, my too much pride, that night in jail down in Macon
Those are a few of the things I wouldn't mind skipping a generation

So, son listen up
Yeah, I messed up

But I ain't never been afraid of working my way
Through 40 hours and change
Every now and again I'm slipping in
To that back row pew to pray
Ain't ever started a fight but I finished a few
Now I'm looking at a boy and thinking about who he's turning into
And it's hitting me hard
Cause if you're gonna be like me
I hope you just get the good parts

I flipped off the boss, I bet the house
Bought a brand-new boat and borrowed money
Made some questionable acquaintances before your momma was my honey
Been down some roads on the edge of town I hope you never go down

But I ain't never been afraid of working my way
Through 40 hours and change
Every now and again I'm slipping in
To that back row pew to pray
Ain't ever started a fight but I finished a few
Now I'm looking at a boy and thinking about who he's turning into
And it's hitting me hard
Cause if you're gonna be like me
I hope you just get the good parts

When I'm knocking on heaven's door
There's some things I'll have to answer for

But I ain't never been afraid of working my way
Through 40 hours and change
Every now and again I'm slipping in
To that back row pew to pray
Ain't ever started a fight but I finished a few
Now I'm looking at a boy and thinking about who he's turning into
And it's hitting me hard
Cause if you're gonna be like me
I hope you just get the good parts
I hope you just get the good parts
