The Good Lord Knows Lyrics

Flying fast down these highways

Falling asleep behind the wheel

That's a hell of a way to start a Sunday

Sirens blasting and lying still

Sometimes your prayers they'll get answered

Some days you'll just talk to the wall

One day you'll be that "take-a-chancer"

Standing on stage to give your all

You've been playing these dues for over ten years

It's time to throw life into sixth gear

And ride it out and see how far it goes

You're barely getting by with nicotine and beer

The harder stuff makes you have no fear of telling stories

And stepping on people's toes

Yeah, I don't know where you're going

But I guess the good Lord knows

Stuck in a drought working full days

Running on empty making minimum wage

Caught in the rain fire doing it my way

Another half-smoked cigarette in the ashtray

Been paying these dudes for over ten years

It's time to throw life into sixth gear

And ride it out and see how far it goes

Barely getting by with nicotine and beer

The harder stuff makes me have no fear of telling stories

And stepping on people's toes

Yeah, I don't know where I'm going

But I guess the good Lord knows

Been paying these dues through the smiles and tears

Who knows if I'll get through this year?

Telling stories and stepping on people's toes

Yeah, I don't know where I'm going

But I guess the good Lord knows

The good Lord knows
