Good Sad

Played my songs in smoky bars 

Chased the rhythm chased the stars 

Made a living off a worn-out tune 

And danced beneath a harvest moon 

loved too hard I lost too fast 

But every heartbreak came to pass 

I held some hands I let some go 

But I always sang what I could show 

My friends were fire wild & true 

We burned through nights we never knew 

Laughed in kitchens cried in cars 

Told the truth in faded scars 

We built a life on borrowed time 

But every chord still feels like mine 

They’re older now or gone ahead 

But I still hear the things they said 

And if this is my dying wish 

Let it be a song,not a list 

Let it be a porch light glow 

A melody the children know 

Let it be a love that stays 

In quiet hearts and louder days 

If this is all then let it be 

A life that sang back honestly 

My family held me through the storm 

Kept me fed and kept me warm 

wasn’t perfect Lord knows that 

But I showed upn and I tipped my hat 

watched my babies learn to dream 

& prayed they’d find what love can mean 

I gave them music gave them grace 

& tried to leave a kinder place 

I don’t need gold I don’t need fame 

Just someone whispering my name 

When the last note fades away 

Let them know I tried to stay 

& if this is my dying wish 

Let it be a song, not a list 

Let it be a porch light glow 

A melody the children know 

Let it be a love that stays 

In quiet hearts & louder days 

If this is all, then let it be 

A life that sang back honestly 

A life that sang back honestly
