Good man down lyrics

here is a story about a boy and a girl

she woke up one morning, felt alone in this world

despite the love for her, he couldn't keep her from leaving

again

she had to do it

she cried in the night

he brought her flowers in the daytime

she tried and she tried

to forget the past and all her past crimes

despite the love for her, he couldn't keep her from leaving

again

she had to do it

how could you shoot a good man down?

and leave without mourning

brokenhearted on the ground

like the others before him

a burden heavy as a rock

ain't nobody gonna stop her

go ahead and walk alone

and regret it some elsewhere

she cried in the night

he brought her flowers in the daytime

he gave up the fight

while she was out comitting new crimes

despite the love for her, he couldn't keep her from leaving

again

she had to do it

how could you shoot a good man down?

and leave without mourning

brokenhearted on the ground

like the others before him

a burden heavy as a rock

ain't nobody gonna stop her

go ahead and walk alone

and regret it some elsewhere

a burden heavy as a rock

ain't nobody gonna stop her

go ahead and walk alone

and regret it some elsewhere

how could she leave without mourning?

i'm like the others before me
