Goodnight, Good Guy

Collective Soul · Emerald Theater - Mt Clemens Mi 11/12/05 [2006]

Somebody told me about a worn out distraction

That I, I let slip away

Then it comes back and rides my shoulders

And burdens me every new day

Well I'll just sit here like a slow burn out

And try to figure out how to do without, without you



Who's going to straighten me up when I'm leaning

Who's going to soothe my heart when it's burning

Who's going to be the one to tell me everything's

All right

Well goodnight, good guy



I'll break the bread of a new day and wonder

If faith will carry me along

But days are longer as my heart gets weaker and

I can only stay so strong

Well I'll just sit here like a wounded soul

Who's finding it difficult to just let go



Who's going to straighten me up when I'm leaning

Who's going to soothe my heart when it's burning

Who's going to be the one to tell me everything's

All right

Well goodnight, good guy



I'm gonna let you sleep

I'll let you fade off in the night

I pray the Lord to keep

I pray the Lord to hold you tight

Goodnight



Who's going to straighten me up when I'm leaning

Who's going to soothe my heart when it's burning

Who's going to be the one to tell me everything's

All right

Well goodnight, good guy
