Good Man Down Lyrics

Here is a story
'bout a boy and a girl
She woke up one morning
And felt alone in this world
Despite the love for her
He couldn't keep her from leaving again
She had to do it

She cried in the nights
He brought her flowers in the daytime
She tried and she tried
To forget the past and all her past crimes
Despite the love for her
He couldn't keep her from leaving again
She had to do it

How could you shoot a good man down
And leave without mourning
Brokenhearted on the ground
Like the others before him
Her burden heavy as a rock
Ain't nobody gonna stop her
Go ahead and walk alone
And regret it some elsewhere

He cried in the nights
She got no flowers in the daytime
He gave up the fight
While she was out committing new crimes
Despite the love for her
He couldn't keep her from leaving again
She had to do it

How could you shoot a good man down
And leave without mourning
Brokenhearted on the ground
Like the others before him
Her burden heavy as a rock
Ain't nobody gonna stop her
Go ahead and walk alone
And regret it some elsewhere

Her burden heavy as a rock
Ain't nobody gonna stop her
Go ahead and walk alone
And regret it some elsewhere

How could you shoot a good man down
And leave without mourning
Brokenhearted on the ground
Like the others before him
Her burden heavy as a rock
Ain't nobody gonna stop her
Go ahead and walk alone
And regret it some elsewhere

Her burden heavy as a rock
Ain't nobody gonna stop her
Go ahead and walk alone
And regret it some elsewhere

How could she leave without mourning
I'm like the others before me
