Good Man Down

Here is a story 'bout a boy and a girl She woke up one morning felt alone in this world Despite the love for her He couldn't keep her from leaving again She had to do it She cried in the nights, he brought her flowers in the daytime She tried and she tried to forget the past and all her past crimes Despite the love for her He couldn't keep her from leaving again She had to do it How could you shoot a good man down and leave without mourning? Broken-hearted on the ground, like the others before him Her burden heavy as a rock, ain't nobody gonna stop her Go ahead and walk alone, and regret it some elsewhere He cried in the nights, she got no flowers in the daytime He gave up the fight while she was out committing new crimes Despite the love for her He couldn't keep her from leaving again She had to do it How could you shoot a good man down and leave without mourning? Brokenhearted on the ground, like the others before him Her burden heavy as a rock, ain't nobody gonna stop her Go ahead and walk alone, and regret it some elsewhere Her burden heavy as a rock, ain't nobody gonna stop her Go ahead and walk alone, and regret it some elsewhere How could you shoot a good man down and leave without mourning? Brokenhearted on the ground, like the others before him Her burden heavy as a rock, ain't nobody gonna stop her Go ahead and walk alone, and regret it some elsewhere Her burden heavy as a rock, ain't nobody gonna stop her Go ahead and walk alone, and regret it some elsewhere How could she leave without mourning? I'm like the others before me
