Good man done wrong

Used to have a Bible by my bed,

Now it’s buried ‘neath some IOUs instead

I kiss my babies while they sleep

Whisper promises I don’t always keep

My woman’s got that look again

Like she’s wonderin’ where the hell I’ve been

And I ain’t proud of where I go

But these vices got me feeling low

Pre-Chorus:

‘Cause I’ve bet more than I ever won

But I ain’t losin’ what I love

Chorus:

I’m a good man done wrong

Tryin’ like hell to hold on

Slippin’ through cracks I swore I’d seal

Spinnin’ that wheel just to feel some thrill

Yeah, I’ve lied and I’ve lost

But I still count the cost

Every night with a guilty song

I’m a good man that's done wrong

Verse 2:

There’s a church light down on Main

I pass it by in the pourin’ rain

I ain't been inside in years

Getting rough causing all these tears

My little boy said, “Daddy’s tough”

But I ain’t felt that kind of love

In the mirror lookin’ back at me

Wish I could be the hero he sees

Pre-Chorus:

One more hand, one more fall

But I ain’t lettin’ down ‘em all

Chorus:

I’m a good man done wrong

Tryin’ like hell to hold on

Fightin’ off ghosts with a worn-out soul

Patchin’ up holes that the devil stole

Yeah, I’ve failed and I’ve fled

But I’m not done yet

Still singin’ where I belong

I’m a good man done wrong

Bridge:

So I’ll lay these vices down

In the dust of this no-name town

If it saves my kids, my wife, my name

I’d burn every card, every damn old flame

Final Chorus:

‘Cause I’m a good man done wrong

But I ain’t gone for long

Risin’ from the mess I made

Brick by brick, I’ll find my way

Yeah, I’ve bled and I’ve crawled

But I’ll stand up tall

If they’ll have me back where I belong

This good man done wrong

Outro:

Yeah, this good man done wrong…

Is tryin’ to make it right all along
