I'm Good Now

there was that time in west virginia

when the cops showed up when the shop blowed up

where we didn't know what was gonna happen

they messed the whole place us and tried to kill my dad

took all the money i had and what was really bad

was i couldnt do nothing to stop them

i had to move to mexico to get away

you reap the seeds you sow or so they say

i spent most my nights hanging out at a place called the rainbow bar

drinking cervezas all night long singing mexican love songs

getting all the words all wrong and not giving a damn

hoping that my luck might change feeling crazy acting strange

never worrying about the danger i was in

well ive had a might bad run of luck since you left town

sometimes you hit the braked but you cant slow down

i know what i want on my damn tombstone

when they put me in the groun

tell them to write it big and tall or not at all

just put im good now

well as the story goes things only got worse

fell in love with a nurse she smuggled drugs in her purse

she worked for doctor gonzales

it turns out the doctor was a mighty mean man

who couldnt understand how things could get out oh hand

but then he had to find out though

her tried to stop her one night well she pulled out a knife

there was a struggle and then her fell there in the end

as she ran home he lay on the floor dying

wondering about the things he'd done

thinking about his life and the fun he'd had

choices that he made and roads he had taken

and he thought about his kids and all the crazy things he did

and he wondered if anything at all really matters

when your life is almost over and there is no hope to be found

when your dying and blood is spilling out all over the ground

and the last words he said although he hardly made a sound

and he spoke each word in spanish cause he couldnt speak no english

he said i'm good now
