Every Good Intention

If a girl would sit beside me
I'd be glad to take her home
To meet the folks
To tell some jokes
Then never be alone
We'd raise ourselves a family
A garden we would grow
If a girl would sit beside me
Well
I'd just have to take it slow

(chorus)

I'm every good intention
the world has ever seen
I'm every mothers fathers son
that ever had a dream
First on the road to heaven
then I'm on the road to hell
I'm every silver lining
in every wishing well

If a man would try to find me
I'd reach out a lending hand
And I'd go from here to Richmond
If that's his promised land
We'd talk about vibrations
That were coming from the sky
If a man would try to find me
Well
I'd just have to wonder why

(chorus)

I'm every good intention
the world has ever seen
I'm every mothers fathers son
that ever had a dream
First on the road to heaven
then I'm on the road to hell
I'm every silver lining
in every wishing well

If the Lord would leave his number
I'd be glad to use the phone
I'd call him every morning
Invite Him to my home
I'd change the way I live my life
I wouldn't smoke or drink
If the Lord would leave his number
Well
I'd just need some time to think

(chorus)

I'm every good intention
the world has ever seen
I'm every mothers fathers son
that ever had a dream
First on the road to heaven
then I'm on the road to hell
I'm every silver lining
in every wishing well
