Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Remember we were driving through the night
Pretending we were lovers lost in sleep
I think you said that "most the time I'm right"
Let go the wheel and maybe we'll switch sides
Well, you were crawling out to raise the dead
And the ghost of you never left
[Chorus]
Tell me I'm a good man
Tell me I'm a good man
Tell me I'm a good man
Tell me I'm a good good man
[Verse 2]
I couldn't find the light myself
It led to falling down the stairs
And the stitches in my head
And not a lesson learned back then
Well, you were crawling into your own way
All the wounded you left downtown
I can taste your lips and not your name
It stains the corner of every page
[Chorus]
Tell me I'm a good man
Tell me I'm a good man
Tell me I'm a good man
Tell me I'm a good good man
[Bridge]
They said they hid you somewhere I didn't know
I dug everywhere
Through the dust and the mud
I turned it all over
Until my spade and hands were broken
[Verse 3]
Remember we were lying in your bed
I could feel your feet against my feet
And the sweat that fled our skin
Ice you rubbed into my chest
And like a fire upon your sleeve
You're gonna burn to put it out
And maybe someday when I can't sing
I'll go back to turning over ground
[Chorus]
Tell me I'm a good man
Tell me I'm a good man
Tell me I'm a good man
Tell me I'm a good good man
Tell me I'm a good man
Tell me I'm a good man
Tell me I'm a good man
Tell me I'm a good good man
