No Good

I’m no good at staying in one place, I’m a man that needs to roam around. Ain’t no good at raising a family, or growing some crops out of the ground. I’m no good at long relationships, you can ask any of my ex-wives. I’m not capable of telling the truth, and I’m no good at telling you goodbye. I’m no good at sharing my feelings, sometimes I think my heart has a crack. So don’t give me any of your love, I am no good at giving it back. So, I guess when you get down to it, I’m no good at even being me. but, I’m good at making crappy country songs, and writing some really bad poetry. Yes, there’s some things that I’m good at, things like ruining other people’s lives. I’m good at always running away, I’m good at only telling you lies. I’m good at handing out broken hearts, and pretending to be what you need. And, I’m good at making crappy country songs, and writing some really bad poetry. I’m no good at sharing my feelings, don’t go placing any trust in me. Don’t give me any of your sweet love, I have to keep myself wild and free. So, I guess when you get down to it, I’m pretty good at just being me. and, I’m good at making crappy country songs, and writing some really bad poetry.
