Every Good Man Lyrics by Olivia Ellen Lloyd

Do It Myself

0

We gave it up without much of a fight
I wish that we could say we tried our best
But now I'm packing up what's left of my old life
Go on and find somebody else to haul the rest
A little house on cinderblock foundation
Someone brought in on a flatbed years ago
All that trouble happened right after we moved in
It'd been brewing for a while, we both know
Behind every good man
There's a woman who's tired
She's keeping the lights on and putting out your fires
And if that is all you wanted, oh if anyone would do
Go on and find someone as desperate as you
I wasn't taught to covet fancy things
If it ain't borrowed then you know it's secondhand
So I'll gladly give you back my wedding rings
Why don't you get me back the time I wish I had
And my mama looks at me like I've gone crazy
Oh my darlin' this is just part of the deal
First you'll work and clean the house then raise some babies
And don't you leave that man looking for his next meal
Behind every good man
There's a woman who's tired
She's keeping the lights on and putting out your fires
And if that is all you wanted, oh if anyone would do
Go on and find someone as desperate as you
What do I do with all this love I have for you?
When I know I'm better off now that we're through
And when you helped me move my things I said
"I hope life treats you well"
When we're handing off the house keys you said
"You could rot in hell"
Behind every good man
There's a woman who's tired
She's keeping the lights on and putting out your fires
And if that is all you wanted, oh if anyone would do
I'm glad you found someone as desperate as you
