Good News
Let me tell you about
The one thing I've learned today
Savor all the things that you celebrate
I've seen a lot of people
Live the American dream
Watch it fade away
Up on the movie screen
Now it's hard working part time
In a coffee shop
Losing myself just to fill my cup
The rain won't go and my coffee's cold
It's times like these I could surely use Some good news
Oh that good news
Well we laugh about
The less important things
When you realize you've got it made
Sometimes you've gotta look out
For good news
Oh that good news"¦yeah.
Well don't weep for me
I've only got a broken wing
I'm just an 80's kid
Workin' to get back my swing
Others got it worse
Others got me beat
Standing on the corner working
To make the ends meet
Now it's hard letting go of things
And the Yankees lost
All up in a mess
You can't turn the clock
Turn back the clock
No it won't stop
And the rain won't go
Still my coffee's cold
I'm wandering around
And it's getting old
I need good news"¦good news
We're a long long way from paradise
The road we're on we'll just
Have to fight for a little while
Sometimes you've gotta reach out
For good news
Oh that good news"¦yeah
One step ahead and two behind
The less you look the more you'll find
It always seems we're in search
Of something better than we got today
Like a perfect poem
From an empty space
Everybody has their own way of
Dealing with the heartbreak
Find themselves a keepsake
Getting out of the weak state
The world around me
Gives me what I need to find
Find some sensibility
I'm on the move these days
And I laugh at the rain
We're more laid back
Like an old steam train
And that's good news"¦good news
I found myself at a country diner
Three star hotel South Carolina
Oh, I'm walking today in the sun
And that's good news"¦
Oh, that's good news"¦
