I'm Good

Song Concept:  A young man has a tough run of luck during really tough times. Regardless, he seems to have a great attitude in spite of his poor current situation. All the lyrics are based on factual events. Special thanks to Rodney, Shane and Terry for being gracious enough to allow us to share a portion of their lives through our music. You are an inspiration to me. Thanks to you . . . I'm Good 

Lyrics

Momma named me John, but you can call me Rodney
I finally found a job this year
The recovery ain’t happening just like they said it would
But all in all I’d have to say I’m Good

The head dude here is Steven but we just call him Shane
For ten years he’s been working through the pain . . . he says
The upward mobility ain’t just what it could be
With that being said, I’m good

Terry’s just like me , 12 steps and a parolee
He don’t seem to have no other name
Recovery means something else both to him and me
Both of us are posi-tutely good

Chorus: Well I’m just trying to live my life the best that I know how
Trying not to let the past affect what happens now
Most the time things ain’t worked out like I thought they should
Overall I’d have to say I’m good , Yes indeed I’d have to say I’m good

Fell of a roof this spring, I guess it was one of those things
The guy that set the ladder didn’t think
I’m starting to feel better now thank God and knock on wood
I’m lucky and I’m thinking that I’m good

Work’s got really slow, the housing market’s touch and go
My boss is even feelin’ a little low
He blames it on the economy while quotin’ Deuteronomy
Sometimes he’s an S.O.B. but I’m good

Hello son, it’s you’re daddy, I know you're feelin’ badly
Your incarceration has been tough, for you and me
I’ve been right where you been, but we’re kin through thick and thin
Nine more days you're free, and you’re good

Chorus: I know you’re trying to live your life the best that you know how
Try not to let the past affect your future now
Most the time the things in life don’t work out like they should
But try your very best to say I’m good

Chorus: We’re just trying to live our lives the best that we know how
We cannot let the past affect our future now
Most the time things in life don’t work out like they should
But we’re alive and here today
We’re free to speak and work and pray
In America we’re proud to say we’re good
