A Lot of Good

Waylon Jennings · The Collection [Madacy] [2005]

As I watched the tail lights disappear

Suddenly it got real lonely here

I know the words I could have said

To make her turn around

But a lot of good it's gonna do me now.



I could have started with I'm sorry

And really meant it from the heart

The rest would have been easy

Together in the dark.



We could have found that old time feeling

That we lost somewhere somehow

But a lot of good it's gonna do me now.



Still thinking about the things I could have said

And looking at her picture by the bed

I realized just what I've lost as I pulled the covers down

But a lot of good it's gonna do me now.



I could have told her I was sorry

And really meant it from the heart

The rest would have been easy

Together in the dark.



We could have found that old time feeling

That we lost somewhere somehow

But a lot of good it's gonna do me now

A lot of good it's gonna do me now...
