ONLY A GOOD WOMAN
composed and lyrics by Kevin & Michael Bacon
When I was seventeen I asked my Daddy
What does it take to be a man?
He said sit down, son
Let's have a little talk
I'll try and make you understand
And then he said years won't do it
Tears won't do it
Sittin' down to drink
a thousand beers won't do it
Tattoos won't do it
Booze won't do it
Puttin' little lifts in your shoes
won't do it
But I'm gonna tell you the thing that can
He said you get a good woman
and she'll make you a man
He said only a good woman can
That's the only thing gonna make you a man
He said a scar won't do it
Fast car won't do it
Kickin' someone's ass in a bar won't do it
You ain't gonna do it as an army private
or a Captain or Lieutenant
No just won't buy it
Listen son you better get yourself a plan
he said you get a good woman
and she'll make you a man
CHORUS
Now I was runnin' around
all through my twenties
Just to prove I had the stuff
And then one day
I met this brown eyed girl
She said to me boy you ain't so tough
She said that walk won't do it
talk won't do it struttin' in here
like a chicken hawk won't do it
Or being a sexist or drivin that Lexus
or tellin' people you were born
and raised in Texas
Come over here boy if you tink you can
she said You get a good woman
and she'll make you a man
CHORUS
Now my Daddy died when I was thirty-one
And that brown eyed girl
gave me a brown eyed son
When he comes to me wondering how to do it
I'll say now sit down son,
'cause I've been through it
Drugs won't do it
Hugs won't do it
Hangin' on the corner
with thugs won't do it
The preacher won't do it
and the teacher won't do it
Or staying up to watch the
Creature Feature won't do it
Boy just look at your mama
then you'll understand
you get a good woman
and she'll make you a man
CHORUS
Eating steak won't do it
Body by Jake won't do it
Puttin' a lot of birthday candles
on your birthday cake won't do it
Wearing cowboy boots won't do it
Armani suits won't do it
sitting there Puffin' on
that cuban Cheroot won't do it
Being rich won't do it
being poor won't do it
Playing this song on the radio...
might do it
