What Was Good Enough For You

What was always good enough for you, Pa

Hate to say, ain't good enough for me

Ploughing fields and planting seeds

'Til your mind and body bleeds, no way

Up before dawn, and you stop when you drop

Then you ask your God to forgive

Prayin' for rain, without rain there's no crop

This ain't no way to live

What was always good enough for you, Pa

Will not satisfy your wayward son

Jesse James had much more fun

Buildin' dreams with just a gun

That's how the west was won

What was always good enough for you, Ma

Gotta say, ain't good enough for me

Makin' punch and bakin' pies

Paintin' barns and swattin' flies... oh no

Writin' 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 pottin' plants

I don't wanna miss my chance

I'm lookin' for romance

This country's had it's day

Depression and bread lines

Are all that tomorrow will bring (Tell 'em, Clyde)

The bible has got it wrong

Just look at the poor, babe

The meek don't inherit a thing

There ain't nothin' good enough for us, kid

We deserve all we are gonna get

This world should be notified

It'll be a bumpy ride

Thanks to Bonnie and Clyde
