Cowboy Junkies - The good and the bad lyrics

rate me

(Ted Hawkins)

Living is good when you have someone to share it with

Laughter is bad when there is no one there to share it with

Talking is sad if you've got no one to talk to

Dying is good when the one you love grows tired of you

Sugar is no good once it's cast among the white sand

What's the point in pulling the gray hairs from among the black strands?

When you're old you shouldn't walk in the fast lane

Oh, ain't it useless to keep trying to draw true love from that man

He'll hurt you, yes just for the sake of hurting you

and he'll hate you if you try to love him just the same

He'll use you and everything you have to offer him

On your way girl

Get out and find you someone new
