Lyrics
Good People
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The world today can be a scary place
Hard to keep your faith in the human race
We're running out of trees and we're running out of space
But we'll never run out of good people
Ask 'em for a shovel and they'll dig you a hole
Put the coffee on, drag you in from the cold
If you get lost, they'll show you where to go
Even give you a ride, good people
Good people aren't hard to find
They're right around the corner
At the end of the line, it's true
Good people got peace of mind
And I'd like to spend some time with you
Oooooh
A man ain't nothing if he ain't got a friend
Down and out without a penny to spend
The bells above will ring in the end
For good people
Good people aren't hard to find
They're right around the corner
At the end of the line, it's true
Good people got peace of mind
And I'd like to spend some time with you
Oooooh
Rich or poor, we're born to be free
Fly around the world or sail the seven seas
There ain't no place that I'd rather be
Then here right now with good people
Good people aren't hard to find
They're right around the corner
At the end of the line, it's true
Good people got peace of mind
And I'd like to spend my time with you
Good people aren't hard to find
They're right around the corner
At the end of the line, it's true
Oooooh
The world today can be a scary place
Hard to keep your faith in the human race
We're running out of trees and we're running out of space
But we'll never run out of good people.
