The Good I’ll Do – Zach Bryan

Well in you

The good I’ll do

The good I’ll do

Oh, the good I’ll do

The way the grass smells at night

And you got flames all in your eyes

As they reflect the sparkler

And you say we’ll never die

Grabbed me by the hands

Just as callused as I am

Say you’re proud

Well it’s blue jeans in the driveway

And you’re walking inside sideways

The wine always affects you

In beautiful kind ways

Ask me if I’m staying

And I say that I’m sleeping on the floor

Won’t you tell me that you need me

‘Cause lately I’ve been needing

Someone to remind me

Worth more than just an evening

I awoke to kitchen smoke

You dancing like God’s moved in you before

Well in you

The good I’ll do

The good I’ll do

Oh, the good I’ll do

Well in you

I’m new

I’m new

Oh, how I’m new

Well look in my eyes

I don’t wanna hide

I’ve been waiting for you

All damn night

Sundress I’ll undress

With nails on your skin

Turning white

Getting high out in Austin

Drunk in Tennessee

I don’t care where I am

As long as you’re with me

Those boys downtown talk so much shit when I leave

Well in you

The good I’ll do

The good I’ll do

Oh, the good I’ll do

‘Cause in you

I’m new

I’m new

Oh, how I’m new

The way the grass smells at night

And you got flames all in your eyes

As they reflect the sparkler

And you say we’ll never die

Grab me by the hands

Just as calloused as I am

And say you’re proud

Finding Hope and Renewal in Love
