about

The story of a “good girl” done with being good. Floats lush vocals over lithe fiddle, its rhythm almost danceable even if its lyrics are a bit of a cautionary tale.

lyrics

Good Girl

Running............keep on running
Don't you ever slow down................or think of turning around
Driving.................keep on driving
Keep your foot on the gas.............til you hit the next town

You were a good girl.............where did that get you and
You were a good girl.............where are you now cause
Being a good girl...............is all done for now
ooooooooooooooh oooooooooooh
ooooooooooooooh oooh ooh ooh

Drinking..............keep on drinking
Til the ghost in your head.........is finally dead
And thinking...........enough with the thinking
Of what you wish you had done..............and what you did instead

You were a good girl...............pushed til you broke and
You were a good girl............where does that leave you now cause
Being a good girl................is long gone for now
ooooooooooooooh ooooooooooooooooh
ooooooooooooooh oooh oooh oooh

Whiskey............you brought him his whiskey
And he never knew..............what you were planning to do
And burning.................the house is still burning
From the gas that you poured...............and the match that you threw

You were a good girl..............until he broke you and
You were a good girl.................til he ground you down and
Being a good girl...................won't help you now
oooooooooooooh ooooooooooooooh
ooooooooooooh ooooh oooh ooooh
