A Good Man Is Hard To Find
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.
Once in the backyard,
She was once like me,
She was once like me.
Twice when I killed them,
They were once at peace,
They were once like me.
Hold to your gun, man,
And put off all the beast,
Put off all the beast.
Paid a full of these, I wait for it,
But someone's once like me.
She was once like me.
I once was better.
I put off all my grief.
I put off all my grief.
So I go to hell, I wait for it,
But someone's left me creased.
Someone's left me creased.
