What Was Good Enough For You Lyrics - Bonnie & Clyde - Original Broadway Cast Recording - Frank Wildhorn

Clyde: 

what was always good enough for you pa 

hate to say ain't good enough for me 

ploughing fields and planting seeds 

till your mind and body bleeds 

no way 

up before dawn and you stop when you drop 

then you ask your god to forgive 

Praying for rain without rain there's no crops 

this ain't no way to live 

what was always good enough for you pa 

will not satisfy your wayward son 

jessie james had much more fun 

building dreams with just a gun 

thats how the west was won 

bonnie: 

what was always good enough for you ma 

gotta say ain't good enough for me 

making punch and baking pies 

painting barns and swatting flies 

oh no 

writing a diary is tough around here 

boring as hell sorry ma 

I wanna wear diamonds one stud for each ear 

bright as the morning star 

what was always good enough for you ma 

will not satisfy your little girl 

more to life than potting plants 

I dont wanna miss my chance 

im looking for romance 

clyde: this country has had its day 

depression and breadlines 

are all that tomorrow will bring 

bonnie: tell 'em clyde 

clyde: the bible has got it wrong 

just look at the poor 

babe the meak dont inherit a thing 

both: 

there ain't nothing good enough for us 

we deserve what we are going to get 

this world should be notified 

it'll be a bumpy ride 

thanks to bonnie and clyde
