Good Man lyrics

A harmless man is not a good man No, a good man is a dangerous man That practices self-discipline Young man, are you listening? I've been a poor man when all I had was my last name And it ain't fancy, but it's mine just the same If you'd asked me, I wouldn't have changed a thing Ain't that strange? I've been a rich man and I've seen wealth untold And I've seen fancy, it's something to behold Let me tell you, it ain't good for the soul Fire melts gold Rich or poor, all roads end the same Not doing nothing 'bout it don't exempt you from the flame A harmless man is not a good man No, a good man is a dangerous man That practices self-discipline Young man, are you listening? I'll only speak the truth to you For you, I've bled these lessons learned Will you believe or will you burn? But I'm an old man And I pray I make it there that I've left behind me My awards and my affairs are all in order Sure as you're sittin' right there in that chair You're gonna look back and see memories on a shelf And some were happy, some you're mad as hell But just remember, each conversation you've had with yourself Rich or poor, all roads end the same Not doing nothing 'bout it don't exempt you from the flame A harmless man is not a good man No, a good man is a dangerous man That practices self-discipline Young man, are you listening? I'll only speak the truth to you For you, I've bled these lessons learned Will you believe or will you burn? It's okay to take the long way to get home The harder way comes easy when it's all you've ever known A harmless man is not a good man No, a good man is a dangerous man That practices self-discipline Young man, are you listening? I'll only speak the truth to you For you, I've bled these lessons learned (Will you believe or will you burn?) The game of life you play's a dangerous game You'll pay a heavy price to play You'll make mistakes that you can't fix Young man, are you listenin'? (Will you believe or will you burn?) Someday soon, you'll be the man You'll see when you take your turn (Will you believe or will you burn?) A harmless man is not a good man No, a good man is a dangerous man That practices self-discipline Young man, are you listening? (Will you believe or will you burn?) I'll only speak the truth to you For you, I've bled these lessons learned Will you believe or will you burn?
