"Good To Go" Lyrics (Jason Aldean album)
Written By Tim Nichols, Rodney Clawson
[Verse 1:]
Waitin' at a stop light yesterday,
As a funeral procession made its way,
Through the gates.
I watched it roll up a windin' road,
Through a field of green with white headstones,
All in a row.
An' it made me think about where I'm at,
On my not so straight an' narrow path.
All the generous an' mostly undeserved,
Blessin's that I've had.
[Chorus 1:]
I had an all-American mom an' dad,
Some of the coolest friends you could ever have.
Found love I thought I'd never find,
Sometimes I can't believe this life in mine.
An' I'm not plannin' on leavin' yet,
But the truth is you just never know.
An' if this is as good as it gets,
Man, I think I'm good to go.
I'm good to go.
[Verse 2:]
I said a prayer for the dearly departed,
An' the loved ones left broken hearted,
Then traffic started.
An' I drove away a little more able,
To see the good things on my table,
An' for that I'm grateful.
'Cause I've had my troubles, had my trials.
I've hit the mark an' I've missed by miles.
Had days that I've been fightin' mad,
But the good times have more than outweighted the bad.
[Chorus 2:]
Got to hold my newborn baby girl,
An' the hand of a man,
As he slipped from this world.
I've laughed so hard I couldn't stop,
Seen the sunrise from a mountain top.
An' I'm not plannin' on leavin' yet,
But the truth is you just never know.
An' if this is as good as it gets,
Man, I think I'm good to go.
[Instrumental break.]
[Bridge:]
Yeah, I've been thinkin' 'bout where I'm at,
On my not so straight an' narrow path.
An' I wouldn't wanna change nothin' about,
This roll with the punches life I've had.
[Chorus 1:]
I had an all-American mom an' dad,
Some of the coolest friends you could ever have.
Found love I thought I'd never find,
I can't believe this life is mine.
An' I'm not plannin' on leavin' yet,
But the truth is you just never know.
An' if this is as good as it gets,
Man, I think I'm good to go.
I'm good to go.
I'm good to go.
[Instrumental to end.]
