I was born in a one-light town
Mama cried when the sun went down
Daddy left with a cigarette spark
I learned young how to walk in the dark
Had a gift for gettin' it wrong
Every road I took was too damn long
Whiskey tongue and a calloused heart
Made a mess before I made my mark
And the preacher said
I ain't worth the fight
Guess he don't see me
In the mirror at night
I'm good for nothing
That's what they say
Just a broken soul
With a price to pay
But I've carried pain
Like a loaded gun
And I've loved harder
Than most ever done
So if I'm damned
Then I'll go down runnin'
Call me wrong
Call me wild call me good for nothing
Got scars I wear like second skin
From all the wars I never could win
I build and burn in the same damn breath
Try to change, but I ain't there yet
You see a sinner, I see a man
Tryin' to crawl outta who I am
A little lost, a little loud
Still standin' up when I should bow
If redemption's real
I hope it's slow
'Cause I ain't ready to let it all go
I'm good for nothing
That's what they swear
Like the devil's breath
In a southern prayer
But I've held the broken
I've bled for love
Ain't afraid to fall
When push comes to shove
So light that fire
I ain't scared of the summonin'
Call me stained, call me scarred
Call me good for nothing
I ain't askin' to be saved
Just to be seen beyond the grave
Even sinners got a soul worth touchin'
Even ghosts got hearts still rushin'
I'm good for nothing
Maybe that's true
But I've stood tall
In the worst of truths
And if I die with a curse in hand
I'll still go down more man than man
So judge me now, I ain't runnin'
Call me damned, call me dust
Call me good for nothing
Good for nothing
But I still feel something
