lyrics

ALL MY BEST INTENTIONS

All my best intentions always somehow end up working in the graveyard
All my best intentions always somehow end up mopping up the floor
All my best intentions always somehow end up playing second guitar
I’m old enough to know
The things you just let go
Don’t get too far

All my best intentions always somehow end up sitting in the dugout
All my best intentions end up starring in somebody else’s show
All my best intentions took to Percocet when 40 pulled the rug out
I’m old enough to know
The things that just don’t show
You don’t talk about

I was gonna be King of the Bengals, King of the Buckaroos
King of the Jungle, King of the Jews
But best intentions like messiahs just climb up on their cross and die hard
With the world to lose

And I’ve grown happy with the wealth of my deficiencies
I’m satisfied to be a sinking star
I’ve come to terms with my outstanding mediocrity
I’ve set the bar
So
Low
The dreams I’ve just let go
Don’t hurt too hard

All my best intentions always end up working midnights at the Walmart
All my best intentions hung their hats up in Las Vegas long ago
All my best intentions send their genuine condolences from Hallmark
I’m old enough to know
The dreams you just let go
They don’t hurt too hard

I was gonna be King of the Bengals, King of the Buckaroos
King of the Jungle, Jesus, King of the Jews
But best intentions like I mentioned just climb up on their cross and die hard
With the world to lose
Like I lost you
Like I lost you
