Good Kid Lyrics - Chris Mccarrell

Six schools in six years 

Been kicked out of every place 

Everything I ever do is wrong 

Never find where I belong 

Everybody on my case 

The same old story 

The same old song 

Don't act up 

Don't act down 

Be strong 

I keep my head down 

I keep my chin up 

But it ends up all the same 

With "pack your bags Percy you're always to blame" 

I never try to do anything 

I never mean to hurt anyone 

I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid 

A good kid 

A good son 

But no one will take my side 

All I ever do is take the fall 

I swear, I swear that i'm a good kid 

Yes, I'm good for nothing at all 

Gabe, was a world class jerk dad 

Was never there 

The only family, that ever mattered 

Well, she vanished into the air 

Now I finally find a haven 

Someplace safe where I can stay 

'til it's "pack your bags Percy now go, go away!" 

I never try to do anything 

I never mean to hurt anyone 

I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid 

Yeah, Percy that's a good one 

But no one will take my side 

All I ever do is take the fall 

I swear, I swear that i'm a good kid 

Yes, I'm good for nothing at all 

The schools in six years 

Every battle 

Every day 

No one ever tells you that they're proud 

No one ever asked me "Percy how'd you like to come around and stay?" 

All you get are bad grades 

And a bum rap 

And a bad rep 

And a good smack 

And no friends 

And no hope 

And no mom 

She's taken away 

I swear I never stole anything 

I never meant to hurt anyone 

I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid 

A good kid 

Who's had a bad run 

An all I need is a last chance 

To prove I'm good for someone 

Good enough for someone 

(Six schools in six years) 

I'm good enough for someone 

(Six schools in six years) 

I'm good enough for someone
