A Good Man Always Shines Through Lyrics

Jimbo was the pride of the town, a friend to everyone

From the schoolyard days to county fair fun

Everybody loved him, the golden boy with charms

But one night with Betsy Ray set off the alarm

She said he wasn't a gentleman, crossed the line

Made some moves that weren't so kind

It wasn't a crime, just an accused mistake

But the whispers and the gossip were too much to take

They turned their backs, said he fell from grace

Couldn't see the goodness in his face

But he stood tall, weathered the storm

Kept his heart pure and his soul warm

He hoped time would show what he knew

A good man always shines through

Days turned to weeks, he walked all alone

The friends he once had, now cold as stone

But he kept on living, with his head held high

Did his best to help others, even if they passed him by

She said he wasn't a gentleman, crossed the line

Made some moves that weren't so kind

It wasn't a crime, just an accused mistake

But the whispers and the gossip were too much to take

They turned their backs, said he fell from grace

Couldn't see the goodness in his face

But he stood tall, weathered the storm

Kept his heart pure and his soul warm

He hoped time would show what he knew

A good man always shines through

One day the truth came out, clear as day

Betsy Ray changed her story, her words led astray

She wanted hitters' attention, she had a jealous heart

Threw her slip up, her lies fell apart

They turned their backs, said he fell from grace

Couldn't see the goodness in his face

But he stood tall, weathered the storm

Kept his heart pure and his soul warm

In time they saw the truth he knew

A good man always shines through

He always shines through

One day the truth came out of town

The gossip and the stories never got him down

A testament to character, standing the test of time

He never changed his ways or held a grudge

Proved that integrity in life is the truest judge

And a good man always shines through

He always shines through
