lyrics

Verse
Growing up I could see them all staring right at me,
Deep inside I told myself just how perfect I should be.
It wasn't hard to figure out I never quite fit in,
Lonely boy with big shoes to fill and not a clue where to begin.
No matter how hard that I tried,
I couldn't do enough good to fill that hole inside.

Chorus
Cuz sometimes good ain't good enough,
You try to save the whole wide world and wind up hurting folks you love,
Man this life can sure get rough,
When it feels like good ain't good enough.
Cuz sometimes good ain't good enough,
You try to save the whole wide world and wind up hurting folks you love,
Man this life can sure get rough,
When it feels like good ain't good enough.

Verse
As far back as I recall it was a dream of mine,
To put on my uniform and walk that Thin Blue Line,
I was proud to do my job, to serve and protect,
I tried to keep it between the lines but in a flash my life was wrecked,
No matter how hard that I tried,
I couldn't drink enough to fill that hole inside.

Verse
As far back as I recall it was a dream of mine,
To put on my uniform and walk that Thin Blue Line,
I was proud to do my job, to serve and protect,
I tried to keep it between the lines but in a flash my life was wrecked,
No matter how hard that I tried,
I couldn't drink enough to fill that hole inside.

Chorus
Cuz sometimes good ain't good enough,
You try to save the whole wide world and wind up hurting folks you love,
Man this life can sure get rough,
When it feels like good ain't good enough.

Bridge
I can promise this much to my son,
He'll never have to wonder if he'll measure up.

Chorus
It might feel like good ain't good enough,
You'll try to save the whole wide world and wind up hurting folks you love,
And even when this life gets rough
Never feel like good ain't good enough
Never feel like good ain't good enough
