116 West Main, Durham, NC Lyrics by Donovan Woods

Things Were Never Good If They’re Not Good Now

2024

[Verse 1]
It's a good thing the days keep rolling over
Like they do
And it's a good thing there's a day off before the day of the show
In the city where you live
And like most of the men who came before me
In my family
Well, I'll likely keel over in a corn field
Thinking once of your face
Once of your voice
And once of your heaving chest and say
[Chorus]
I tried to be horrified by you
I tried to be satisfied with you
I tried to be less uptight around you
I tried, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I?
[Verse 2]
And if ever my motivation
Should fall under some shadow of doubt
Well, I'll tip hat to the crowd, tip my server real well
And show myself out
And if ever I used to say
Oh, I can't live without it
I used to swear that I was born to do it
Hell, well the next guy was too
[Chorus]
I tried to be horrified by you
I tried to be satisfied with you
I tried to be less uptight around you
I tried, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I?
Didn't I, didn't I?
Didn't I, didn't I?
[Verse 3]
It's good thing the days keep rolling over
Like they do
It's a good thing there's a bookstore by the stage door
With the name I'm looking for
[Outro]
And we have to have to ask ourselves
Is it worth being a human?
With all our intellect, our emotions
And our spiritual bodies, our souls
As I believe we have souls
To subject ourselves to some
Shiny object
Is it, is it worth being a human?
