Good Intentions Lyrics - Lyle Lovett

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 massive 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 grass 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
