Good
Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit Lyrics

You better watch yourself this time
Be cautious and mindful of your actions in this instance

On your waiting in a long line
You are already in the midst of a troublesome situation

Of kicking off a slow crime
Even small or slow actions can lead to negative consequences

I guess the Devil wouldn't have you
Even the Devil refuses to associate with you

But you used what you're used to
You fall back on your familiar habits

You always seem to somehow make it through
Despite your poor choices, you manage to come out relatively unscathed

I know I let myself go
I allowed myself to deteriorate

But I try to let you know
I attempt to communicate my struggles with you

It's hard to be alone
Being isolated and unsupported can be difficult

I know I never took my own advice
I failed to follow my own guidance

Chased a couple rollin' dice
I took risks without considering the potential consequences

Somewhere I don't belong
I found myself in a situation that was uncomfortable or inappropriate

I can't make myself be good
I struggle to make the right choices and do what is morally correct

I wish I could
I desire to improve my behavior and actions

Somewhere my conscience tuned to petrified old wood
My conscience has become hardened and unresponsive

I can't make myself do right
I find it challenging to do what is right and just

On Friday night
During an evening of leisure and relaxation

When all these shadows they get bigger and bigger in the light
As the darkness and uncertainty of my choices become more apparent

Another night another rope burn
Yet another painful experience or mistake

Well I guess that it was my turn
I am resigned to accepting the consequences of my actions

To wash all of the pain down
To numb or distract myself from the emotional or physical pain

Maybe you were just a decoy
Perhaps you were not genuine or sincere

It doesn't matter much to me, noise
Your true intentions are not significant or relevant to me

It covered up the voices
Your presence drowned out the critical voices in my head

I don't want to hear
I am unwilling to face the truth or confront my own faults

I let myself go again
I allowed myself to become careless and reckless once again

I tried to let you know, but then
I attempted to communicate with you, but it was difficult

It's hard to be alone
Being isolated and unsupported can be difficult

I know I never took my own advice
I failed to follow my own guidance

I got tired of playing nice
I grew weary of behaving in a polite or kind manner

And cut right to the bone
I spoke or acted in a cruel and hurtful way
