"God Is Good" lyrics

"God Is Good"

There was a time in my life when things were a mess
My ex took half and cocaine took the rest
And people gave less than a damn about the music I made
I tried my best to be the greatest alive
But this traveling life is hard to survive
It's like nothing ever lasts and we all just fade away
Tell me the truth, is there anything left to save

Up on the mantle, high on that hill
With old Jack Daniel's and a hopper of pills
If love is real I really never understood
So light me a candle, score an eight-ball
Bury me deep with my old Les Paul
There lies Bobby, nobody ever thought he could
Here lies Bobby, he did everything he said he would
And God is good
God is good

I sang my stories, I spoke my truths
Never shy, still spry, man I was hell in my youth
I dunked my trunk in every single A to Z
Like a bitch with a jet, I was rich, I could roam
And did it so well I ended up alone
And now, these days, I look forward to therapy
If you think you know lonesome you should be here with me

Up on the mantle, high on that hill
With old Jack Daniel's and a pocket of guilt
I tried to survive in a world full of pimps and crooks
So light me a candle at Tahquamenon Falls
Pour me a tall anything-alcohol
There lies Bobby, nobody ever thought he should
Here lies Bobby, he did everything he said he would
And God is good

(God is good)
And God is good
(God is good)

Thirty years on the road, forty-five in the snow
People bought what I had so I paid what I owed
Then I sold the farm for a big piece of no-one-cares
What happened to time? Where the hell did she go?
If love comes cheap, then you'll reap what you sow
But I still believe in the power of a evening prayer
Yeah, I still believe in the power of a evening prayer

Up on the mantle, high on that hill
With old Jack Daniel's and time standing still
If love shows up, you better grab it while it's good
So light me a candle when the curtain calls
And bury me deep with my old Les Paul
There lies Bobby, nobody ever understood
Here lies Bobby, he did everything he said he would
And God is good

(God is good)
(Oh, God is good now)
God is good
(God is good)
(Yes he is; God is good)
Yes, he is; God is good
(God is good)
(Oh yeah, God is good)
God is good (God is good); yes he is
(God is good)
Yeah, God is good
