Best Intentions Songtext / Lyric

Every now and then I want to feel the escape

When the depression sets in and my spirit breaks

And I go out huntin' demons and they make me beg

Got me pissin' in the wind down my own damn leg



If God wrote a book 'bout everything that he's done

I'd go searching for my name, now wouldn't everyone?

And you can tell me point blank that I'm a narcissist

I'm just needing confirmation that I exist



Please don't read my mind

I'm so scared of what you'll find

I haven't left it all behind



So much hate 'cause of all the hurt

No idea what I'm really worth

I'm holding out for peace and air time



You have to understand that my intentions are good

And everything I do, I do for love

I've got two little souls and I love 'em, man

That I'm trying to lead to the promised land






We take big old trips down to the countryside

Got a big old house where we reside

And there's a big old boy with a big old gun

Stays up all night in case the weirdos come



I had a job but I resigned

Then I had a change of mind

I will again if I'm inclined



Another moan from a millionaire

I don't know why I'm telling you 'cause you don't care

I'm holding out for peace and air time



I'm a little bit older but not wiser still

I was smoking marijuana taking sleeping pills

But I get up in the morning, take the kids to school

And my other indiscretions are so minuscule



And I really pray to God it stays that way

'Cause deep inside I think I'm still dirty

When you take your chances and you ride your luck

All you're really saying is "I could fuck this up"



You have to understand that my intentions are good

And everything I do, I do for love

I've made a ton of mistakes, it's either fight or flight

But every now and then I kinda get it right



(He kinda gets it right)



I kinda get it right



(He kinda gets it right)
