Too Good! Too Bad!

Don’t you love it when things feel fantastically good?

Wish it would always be that way…like it really should?

But it’s just like the short verses of an ol’ country song

Cause nothing really good or bad ever lasts very long

 

Couldn’t you just scream aloud and jump up for joy?

Knowing that you were about to get your favorite toy

Get it while you’re young, why it only costs a song

Cause nothing really good or bad ever lasts very long

 

You could probably just cry your eyes out at the thought

Of all the bad news the politicians of this land have brought

But we still got elections and we can still right the wrong

Thankfully, nothing really good or bad ever lasts very long

 

You job is driving you crazy, you wish you could just retire

But there was a time that you wanted to set the world on fire

The definition of success has changed…the words all wrong

Cause nothing really good or bad ever lasts for very long

 

Life is full of wrong turns, stubbed toes and scraped knees

Sometimes it seems we can’t see the forest for the trees

But that’s alright; we’ll get down the road whistling us a song

Cause nothing really good or bad ever lasts for very long

 

Money comes and money goes just as in affairs of the heart

It is so hard to figure out where to stop and when to start

But that’s okay; we’ll be coming back again just as strong

Cause nothing really good or bad ever lasts for very long

 

You finally find the girl of dreams, a pretty little flower

She’ll do anything you want, but you only have an hour

But gee, it just $200 for a little fun, what could go wrong

Cause nothing really good or bad ever lasts for very long

 

The dentist says you need a root canal…get it done today

He says the pain will worsen and your tooth will soon decay

But though your gums are deadened, the drill still sings its song

Luckily, nothing really good or bad ever lasts for very long

 

That annual trip to the doctor sure comes around so quick

And soon he has that glove on all greased up so slick

But you know you can stand it though it all seems so wrong

Thankfully nothing really good or bad ever lasts for very long
