Bad Things To Such Good People Lyrics

Bad Things To Such Good People

my dress shoes on 

the well kept cemetary lawn 

both of them weeping 

their one good son now was gone 

the irony to see my dad down on his knees 

crying out to jesus 

but lord i've always done what's right 

and all the while 

the good lord smiled 

and looked the other way 



when we were kids 

i did my best to make them proud 

it just wasn't in me 

i could not fly straight to save my life 



their big success is now their biggest failure 

their golden child has been dethroned 

their reputation is now in ruin 

their tower to heaven has come tumbling down
