Lyrics:
1)Lost in the dust where a tanker burns down an old dirt road
In the desert heat he can smell the smoke
Camouflage pants with blood stained knees and his best friends tags
The last thing he said brother I got your back
What a flashback it’s a moment in time that he can’t forget
CHORUS: But ON A GOOD DAY when he wakes up
He can roll outta bed and barely feel the pain
ON A GOOD DAY he can think straight
though the battle rages on he can somehow find the strength
Down deep in his soul there’s a little bit of hope
ON A GOOD DAY
2)There’s a white picket fence wrapped around a house in the middle of town
It’s a quiet streetwhen the sun goes down
It’s 3 a.m. and he just passed out on the living room floor
His wife gets up says I can’t take much more
With tears in his eyes he swears he’s gonna change
CHORUS: Cause On a good day when he wakes up
He can roll outta bed and barely feels the pain
On a good day he can think straight
he can hold on tight even when he’s got the shakes
Down deep in his soulthere’s a little bit of hope
ON A GOOD DAY
Bridge: Now rehab it ain’t easy
it’s a long hard fight
And the price of war is steep
when it kills you to survive
Tag: But on a GOOD DAY he can stand up
to the man in the mirror and finally face the pain
Down deep in his soul there’s a little bit of hope
He can put down the drink look you in the eye
hug his kids kiss his wife
though the battle rages on he can somehow find the strength
to put the past away
ON A GOOD DAY.....Oh On A GOOD DAY……
