Good Man Lyrics

I've been searching for a reason

A reason for you to stay

And I haven't found one yet

So I'm surprised you haven't walked away

I'm so glad to have you

But what have I done

To get such a good thing

In my life when all I do is run

Away from all that hurts me

I try never to grow

I just can't help it with you

There's something about you I don't know

But, I'm a man of my father

Something I can't stand behind

But that's all I can give you

It's not much, but it's mine

And I'd gladly give my heart to a woman like you

And I promise not to run when I get scared of what you'll do

And I'll happily stand by you, I'll never leave your hand

I'm not much of it alone, but with you I'm a good man

My daddy, he's built houses

My mama, she's saved lives

And I haven't done much of anything

Except write a few good lines

Sometimes I'm far away from Jesus

In words and action too

But there's one thing like him that I will always do

I would lay down my life for you

And I'd gladly give my heart to a woman like you

And I promise not to run when I get scared of what you'll do

And I'll happily stand by you, I'll never leave your hand

I'm not much of it alone, but with you I'm a good man

I'm a good man
