Cowboy Junkies - The Good & The Bad lyrics

(ted hawkins) Living is good when you have someone to share it with Laughter is bad when there is no one there to share it with Talking is sad if you've got no one to talk to Dying is good when the one you love grows tired of you Sugar is no good once it's cast among the white sand What's the point in pulling the gray hairs from among the black strands? When you're old you shouldn't walk in the fast lane Oh, ain't it useless to keep trying to draw true love from that man He'll hurt you, yes just for the sake of hurting you And he'll hate you if you try to love him just the same He'll use you and everything you have to offer him On your way girl Get out and find you someone new
