I Just Want to Feel Good

I'm not going to be
a martyr for your grace
that's not in my cards
or the lines in my face
that's all over and done

you're the acting judge
putting me on trial
am I slow in new beginnings
or am I stuck in reconcile?

I gave it hell as long as I could
now I just want to feel good

High desert spell
makes you an old child
hard up and convinced
that you were once wild
as you pull down your blinds

I drove down the veins
discovered in our youth
made better time than last year
but I still don't have the proof

healing scars I never understood
now I just want to feel good

Bridge and tunnel mamas
plastic pinwheel kites
watched a rich man's children
win another fight
but we all knew what for

I'm here most nights
singing to make sense
of the uncertain times
I just sat up on a fence

Searching for green grass and falsehoods,
now I just want to feel good
Been singing for green grass and falsehoods,
now I just want to feel good
