Laura Lee, Laura Lee, I come back again
I'm poundin' on the door, baby
Won't you let me in
I said
Oh, lord
I just wanna be a good man
I'm sorry pretty baby
'Bout your one black eye
But I swear to God
The fist belonged
To another guy
I said
Oh, lord
I just wanna be a good man.
Yeah, I said
Oh, lord
I just wanna be a good man.
Well I'm standin' out here
In the pourin' rain
With the bourbon and the blood
Burning up my brain
I said
Oh, lord
I just wanna be a good man
And my bones hang loose
In my old man's clothes
I'm wavin' round a pistol
That I think I probably stole
I said
Oh, lord
I just wanna be a good man
Oh, I said
Oh, lord
I just wanna be a good man
Laura Lee, Laura Lee, I come back again
I'm poundin' on the door, baby
Won't you let me in
I said
Oh, lord
I just wanna be a good man
I'm sorry pretty baby
'Bout your one black eye
But I swear to God
The fist belonged
To another guy
I said
Oh, lord
I just wanna be a good man
Yeah, I said
Oh, lord
I just wanna be a good man
Yeah, I said
Oh, lord
I just wanna be a good man
Yeah, I said
Oh, lord
I just wanna be a good man
Oh, I said
Oh, lord
I just wanna be a good man
