What Good Lyrics by Tré Burt

Caught It from the Rye

2020

[Verse 1]
Make amends, tell your childhood friend they were something to you
Cause it gets dark, and when it's so dark you gon' wish for a light or two
No, we don't talk like we used to do in the meadows of our youth
But you're a part of the last good truth 'fore this yellow took my tooth

[Chorus]
Time like a howlin' jet plane takin' off for good
I'm but a passenger, I never said I understood
What good does the flyin' do, what good?

[Verse 2]
Here I am standing at the edge of this wooden pier
And through this fog at the waterfront docks see the ship sails disappеar
Yes it is gone to another shorе where the sky's shiny, blue and clear
But is it wrong to expect return at the end of a troubled year?

[Chorus]
Time like a smoky steamboat takin' off for good
I'm but a passenger, I never said I understood
What good does the sailin' do, what good, what good, what good?
What good does the flyin' do, what good?

[Verse 3]
Rocky road, must I pay your toll every time I ride?
Cause all your street lights lead me somewhere deep 'neath the county line
And the song on the radio, well it's cuttin' in and out
And how long till my engine blows, till my vessel's breakin' down

[Chorus]
Time like a racin' speed car takin' off for good
I'm but a passenger, I never said I understood
What good does the drivin' do, what good, what good, what good?
What good does the sailin' do, what good, what good, what good?
What good does the flyin' do, what good?
