Good Intentions (original song)

Original song Glenn C Elliott Copyright 2007
Ok I think i have it spelled right now!so stop laughing!
You're sitting on the front porch
Looking down the back road
Got a clothes line hanging full of dirty clothes
One of the draw backs of living on a dirt road
Seems like you've been here forever
But you know how slow time goes
Still young enough to have your looks
Well that might pay the rent
When the moneys spent

Well the bank want cash your good intentions
And the lottery never wins
You always said the road to hell was paved with black pavement
Government check has long been gone
You swear uncle Sam done you wrong
Ruined your good intentions
Good intentions

Well you're sitting on a sidewalk
Outside the pawn shop
Every memory you once had now you've done gone and hocked
The kids in their bare feet sucking down a soda pop
Waiting on the bus just to ride to the next stop
You traded the rock off your finger for the rock in your pocket
You going to get that stuff back someday
Or at least you have

Good intentions

Well you're sitting in an alleyway
DSS hauled all the kids away
Never meant for it to end this way
You're gonna straighten up and get back someday
But right now it's just going to have to wait
But you got good intentions
Good intentions

enjoyed it glen,just a tint of subterranean homesick blues(dylan),but good mate..worth a good 5..pete

[glenncelliott]

Thanks, Ive had a few comments about how this sounds a lot like subterranean homesick blues. I was not familiar with that song when I wrote this, but have always been a Dylan fan. I guess his music has had a lot of influence in my song writing. After a few people mention the similarities of the songs I googled it for a listen , and yeah I can hear a little of homesick blues and a lot of Dylan in it. Thanks for listening and taking the time to comment
