Lyle Lovett - Good Intentions lyrics

It's a sunny day in California But that old sun it's shining on me right here at home It's one of those days When those great ideas they just seem to fall out on you And they always fall the greatest when you're falling all alone It makes for a good day for some serious reflection And ma**ive rationalization For contemplating the future of the future And the last of the past And wondering if you could ever forgive me darling All the trouble that I put to you And if I could forget all those questions That I never asked And if I could forgive The temporary weight gain due to excess water retention I could forgive the rest too It's just a fact of life That no one cares to mention She wasn't good But she had good intentions So the gra** it grows When the sun it shines And my face it glows When the woman's mine And you say I'm a fool-around Honey that may be true But I'd sooner fool around Than be a fool for a fool And if I could forgive The unadulterated adulterating apprehension I could forgive the rest too It's just a fact of life That no one cares to mention She wasn't good But she had good intentions So I'm twenty-six and rising Still too young to live But too low to go I guess it's the process Of learning to excess All of those things That you already know And if I could forgive The honey, I, swear, it, didn't, mean, a, thing, to, me Attempt at abstention I could forgive the rest too It's just a fact of life That no ones cares to mention She wasn't good But she had good intentions
