Artist/Band: Rosanne Cash
Lyrics for Song: The Good Intent
Lyrics for Album: Essential Rosanne Cash [2011]



I sailed in on the Good Intent

with all intentions clear

a man without a mystery

a vision brought me here

the ocean gave me room to roam

but the shore in calling out

so I will marry, build a home

and see what that's about



Children came by dozens then

drifting south like rain

I work the soil, I use the gun

the waves have turned to grain

I tried to love this Arkansas

with black and bleeding hands

I will not survive this life

but I'll become a man



My brother sold my mother's house

I never shed a tear

I could watch the world in smoke

there's nothing for me here

I've seen behind the darkened veil

and it's all I want to know

so I'll sail off on the Good Intent

to my true happy home

yes I'll sail off on the Good Intent

never more to roam
