That I would be good even if I did nothing That I would be good even if I got the thumbs down That I would be good if I got and stayed sick That I would be good even if I gained ten pounds That I would be fine even if I went bankrupt That I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth That I would be great if I was no longer queen That I would be grand if I was not all knowing That I would be loved even when I numb myself That I would be good even when I am overwhelmed That I would be loved even when I was fuming That I would be good even if I was clingy That I would be good even if I lost sanity That I would be good Whether with or without you

Nobody said that it would be easy To take away my walkin' shoes 'Cause, honey, I found I can't settle down At the end of my road, there's another town Where the people wanna hear a man Who sings the blues Nobody said that it would be easy Stay at home all alone But, honey, I found I can't settle down At the end of my road, there's another town I gotta keep movin' I gotta keep rollin' on Some say I'm a fool Crazy fanatic, dreamer, drifter and more I guess it's true Like getting static for a new pair of boots And the way out the door Nobody said that it would be easy And sometimes you'll get confused But, honey, I found I can't settle down At the end of my road, there's another town Where the people wanna hear a man Who sings the blues Some say I'm a fool Crazy fanatic, a dreamer, a drifter and more I guess it's true 'Cause I get ecstatic for a new pair of boots And a way out the door Nobody said that it would be easy Sometimes you'll get confused But, honey, I found I can't settle down At the end of my road, there's another town Where the people wanna hear a man Who sings the blues Yeah, honey, I found I can't settle down At the end of my road, there's another town Where the people wanna hear a man Who sings the blues

Look around, look around at how lucky we are To be alive right now Look around, look around How long have you known? A month or so Eliza, you should have told me I wrote to the General a month ago, no I begged him to send you home You should have told me I'm not sorry I knew you'd fight until the war was won (the war's not done) But you deserve a chance to meet your son Look around, look around At how lucky we are to be alive right now Will you relish being a poor man's wife Unable to provide for your life? I relish being your wife Look around, look around Look at where you are Look at where you started The fact that you're alive is a miracle Just stay alive, that would be enough And if this child Shares a fraction of your smile Or a fragment of your mind Look out world That would be enough I don't pretend to know The challenges you're facing The worlds you keep erasing and creating in your mind But I'm not afraid I know who I married So long as you come home at the end of the day That would be enough We don't need a legacy We don't need money If I could grant you peace of mind If you could let me inside your heart Oh, let me be a part of the narrative In the story, they will write someday Let this moment be the first chapter Where you decide to stay And I could be enough And we could be enough That would be enough
