Karaoké Good Book Bad Will Moseley

He was seventeen

Quarterback on the home team

On the back road and in between his fifth and sixth beer

Then he saw those blue lights and couldn't walk that straight line

His daddy cussed and mama cried when they bailed him outta there

He got in the truck

They said You got what you deserved

Brought him a button up and drug his butt to church

Said Boy you need the good book bad

All your runnin' around's gotta slow down a little

You're livin' just a little too fast

You gotta meet the man somewhere in the middle

Sometimes you gotta take a step back

Look at you and ask who you are down in your heart

You ain't that far off track

It ain't that hard to get back

You just need the good book bad

He was twenty-eight

They thought they were gonna wait

About a week from the due date

He'll never forget

When she woke him up in the dead of the night

Said Grab the bag

I think it's time

When the rest of his life got there he looked at the man in the mirror

Said Boy you need the good book bad

All your runnin' around's gotta slow down a little

You're livin' just a little too fast

You gotta meet the man somewhere in the middle

Sometimes you gotta take a step back

Look at you and ask who you are down in your heart

You ain't that far off track

It ain't that hard to get back

You just need the good book bad

You just need the good book bad

Life don't stop and no one's perfect

The straight and narrow throws you curves yeah

If you're anything like me sometimes all you need

Is the good book bad

When all your runnin' around's gotta slow down a little

You're livin' just a little too fast

You gotta meet the man somewhere in the middle

Sometimes you gotta take a step back

Look at you and ask who you are down in your heart

You ain't that far off track

It ain't that hard to get back

You just need the good book bad

Yeah

We all need the good book bad
