MY OLD MAN HE USED TO SAY
I DO A GOOD THING LIKE EVERYDAY
WELL I HOLD DOORS FOR OLD LADIES
AND I SAY THANK YOU AND PLEASE
AND THATS JUST HOW I AM
EVEN IF NOBODY EVER UNDERSTANDS
CUZ THEY'LL BE A FEW WHO ALONG THE WAY
WHO WILL LET YOU DO A GOOD THING EVERYDAY
MY OLD FLAME SMOKE SIGNS TO ME
LIKE ETERNAL BURNING KENNEDY
TOUCHING FIRE AND TEACHING PAIN
LEARNING SO NO LOVE'S IN VAIN
WHEN NO ONE GIVES A DAMN
AND NO ONE SEEMS TO REALLY EVER UNDERSTAND
BUT YOU GLEW TRUE BLUE ALONG THE WAY
TO SHOW ME WHATS A GOOD THING EVERYDAY
I REMEMBER MY FIRST MEMORY
I WAS WALKING
AND THE WORLD WAS BACKING UP
IT WAS TELLING ME TO A STEP
MY OLD LADY SHOWS TO ME
THERES A BILLION MEN I COULD BE
BABY'S ON A BED FLOATING DOWN THE ROAD
LIKE A GOOD VIBES GOOD TIMES DYNAMO
CUZ I CHOOSE HOW I AM
AND BABE, I THINK THAT MAYBE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND
THAT YOU'RE ONE TOO WHO ALONG THE WAY
IS GOING TO LET ME DO A GOOD THING EVERYDAY
I AIN'T NUMB
I AIN'T DUMB
OR SLINGING MUD
IN A FLOOD
