Just When It Gets Good Songtext
von Rhett Miller

You want to talk about redemption?
You got to fuck it up real bad
Give in to temptation
Everybody gets sad
Oh, but if you′re not careful
You'll come to a full stop
Go swimming in the ocean
Tied to a big rock

Why would you leave
Even if you could?
Why would you go
Just when it gets good?


You go looking for a reason
You ain′t never gonna find it
Wind up on an island
Feeling like a misfit
You get broken on a big wave
Cut yourself clean in half
You think you're ever gonna fix it?
Don't make me laugh

Why would you leave
Even if you could?
Why would you go
Just when it gets good?

You want to talk about redemption?
You got to fuck it up real bad
You′re giving in to temptation
Everybody gets sad

Why would you leave
Even if you could?
Why would you go
Just when it gets good?
Why would you leave
Even if you could?
Why would you go
Just when it gets good?
