Good Night
U.S. Bombs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While you were demoralized
God dammit times still on your side
A rolling stone no less the
Dischords on the side
Just add a star up in the sky
We broke the bar we picked
Each other off the floor
We chased our shakes away
And scared em with a drink
Always a better man that I
That's why the saints were always marchin' in
Even when their was no luck in sight
So who's to know? when's our time to go
So kiss your kids and tuck em in good night
It'll be alright, its only life, I know yer
All Right its only life
Donnas guitar was your left arm
She's on the phone stood by your side
You did her right
Picnic in the park was everyones
Good night, your in the light your in the light

I'll be the last to understand
I am slow to comprehend what's going on
While you were demoralized
While you were feeling discouraged
God dammit times still on your side
Despite all odds, luck is still in your favor
A rolling stone no less the
I am always on the move
Dischords on the side
I encounter conflict and disharmony
Just add a star up in the sky
I want to achieve something great
With broken records broken spirits
Everything is in disarray and we feel defeated
We broke the bar we picked
We exceeded our expectations
Each other off the floor
We helped each other when things got tough
We chased our shakes away
We drank to forget our problems
And scared em with a drink
We became bolder after consuming alcohol
Always a better man that I
Others are always better than me
That's why the saints were always marchin' in
That's why the best of us always soldier on
Even when their was no luck in sight
Even when there seemed to be no chance of success
So who's to know? when's our time to go
We never know when our time is up
So kiss your kids and tuck em in good night
Show your loved ones that you care for them
It'll be alright, its only life, I know yer
Things will be okay, it's just part of life
All Right its only life
It's fine and not worth worrying about
Donnas guitar was your left arm
Playing guitar was second nature to you
She's on the phone stood by your side
She was always there for you
You did her right
You treated her well
Picnic in the park was everyones
Everyone enjoyed a picnic in the park
Good night, your in the light your in the light
Good night, you are in a better place now

Epic song about Chuck Briggs, former Bombs guitarist who died of aids in the 90's and basically Duane just sayin' hey man, love yer neighbor if you can muster the strength, but love yer kids for chryslers sake.
@PointlessAggression
Chuck to Duane was like Ryan to Bam. I knew Duane through friends and acquaintances and it hurt when I heard about Chelsea. I met him when he was like 10. Glad he is playing again (whole new Bombs line up)
Cheers!
