remind myself not to fall in love...I lost my best friend cause I fell in love with her:/

A true songwriter story. Telling our stories through songs. I really like this one.  It's got a great story. Great meaning. Good traditional sound.

MY STORIES

On My Way to Tennessee

Not Bad For A Goody Two-Shoes Girl 

Ooooo-oo-oo-oooo... 

 V.1: 

She took to heart what her Mama often said 

Don't let "it's a man's world" get stuck in your head 

I'm a work-at-home-woman and very proud of that 

Her Mama cheered her on, was there when needed 

To hug and pat her back  

V.2: 

Be a good girl and person and you'll do fine 

Classroom schoolin' will fly like your summer times 

Then the world where all isn't good you will have to face 

There is ugly and badness that soon enough you'll find 

Draggin' dirt in ev'ry place 

 Chorus: 

And a good girl she's always been 

Grew up, got married, is to many a valued friend 

Sits on the school board. Carpools the kids 

Leads them volunteerin'. She rules her world 

Not bad for a goody two-shoes girl 

Not bad, not bad at all.  

For a goody two-shoes-girl 

 Music Break: 

V.3: 

"Ol' goody two-shoes" some snickered as she passed by 

Nothing pierced and no tattoos, her head held high 

But when homework stumped them it was her they called  

In every class, every grade, in excellence  

She topped them all 

Chorus:  

OHH!, a good girl she's always been 

Grew up, got married, is to many a valued friend 

Sits on the school board, carpools the kids 

Leads them volunteerin'. She rules her world 

Not bad, not bad at all 

Not bad for a goody two-shoes girl 

 Outro: 

Her husband tells all those askin'  

In the man's world where he hears the constant bitchin' 

About wives, and lives, some really weird things 

Man, I got it good. I got it great. 

Not bad , not bad at all  

Not bad for a goody two-shoes girl
