One Good Deed Lyrics

For at least one night my star shone bright

I could smile and be proud of my name

Good deeds were not my history

Trouble always calls me out to play

I could turn it around

Sink my past into the ground

To never make a sound

It's one good deed 'til the bad deeds are found

Hoistin' up their sails the Press have caught the trail

Finding flesh to dress this hero's bones

"He saved a life, but what about his wife?"

She said, "ask him 'bout the night he never came home."

I could turn it around

Sink my past into the ground

To never make a sound

It's one good deed 'til the bad deeds are found

Was quite a mess to which I did confess

The time on my hands won't wash away

I understand, you can't trust this man

I don't trust myself I have to say

I could turn it around

Sink my past into the ground

To never make a sound

It's one good deed 'til the bad deeds are found

One good deed I wanna believe

Could be all you need

One good deed could turn the bad deeds around
