one of the good guys - sal viviano lyrics
[man 1]
right here you see
one of the good guys
one of the nice ones
with sensible drives
what else could i be?
i’m one of the good guys
who play with their children
and dote on and pamper their wives
but there was a night, in hawaii
on a business trip
that my mind has suffused with a mystic glow
she was someone’s friend and she had this smile
we were on a beach and we walked awhile
and i watched the wind billow in her hair
and i knew—we knew—there was more to share
i could feel the ground start to go
like volcanoes starting to blow
and the waves were loud
we were all alone
we had left the crowd
not a soul would ever have known
but i stopped and said “no”
’cause that isn’t me
i’m one of the good guys
one of the smart ones
whose virtue survives
firm as a tree
one of the good guys
who trades a flash of heat
to build a warmer fire
denies himself a treat
to shoot for something higher
and that’s the part that’s sweet
that only the good guys know
that’s not the end
as you suspected
time flipped some pages
i’m now forty*four
there’s money to spend
the kids are in college
my wife’s back in art school
we just bought a house at the shore
but sometimes at night in the stillness
lying wide awake
as the wife i still desire sleeps by my side
i can feel the wash of the perfumed air
as my mind is drowning in billowing hair
and although i know that my life is blessed
i am teased by thoughts that it’s second best
and the visions seethe in my head
of the lives that i could have led
they are all still there
i can change my fate
there’s no time to spare
i must find them before it’s too late
but i wake and say “no”
oh h*ll, why defend
all of us good guys
strangling in plenty
yet whining for more?
truth is my friend
just between good guys
it’s not which road you take
which life you pick to live in
whichever choice you make
the longing is a given
and that’s what brings the ache
that only the good guys know
