Cowboy Junkies
The Good and the Bad
Living is good, when you’ve got someone to live with
Laughter is bad, when you don’t have anyone to share it with
Talking is bad, when there is no one there to talk to
Dying is good, when your one true love grows tired of you

Sugar is no good, once it’s cast among the white sand
What’s the point, of pulling the grey hairs from among the black strands?
‘Cause when you’re old, you shouldn’t walk in the fast lane
Oh ain’t it useless, to keep on trying to draw true love from that man

He’ll hurt you, just for the sake of hurting you
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 somebody new

He’ll hurt you, just for the sake of hurting you
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 somebody new
