Lyrics
Good Intentions
© 1995 Cathleen Weinrich and Robert Heath
verse
I was five years old when I watched him drive away
Standing on a porch on that hot summers day
With my momma's hand in mine
I waved goodbye to pappa one last time
chorus
She said..
He had good intentions
He never planned to let us down
In spite of all his good intentions
His kind don't seem to stick around
So what good are all those good intentions
verse
He was wild at heart with that look in his eyes
Turns a young girl deaf to her momma's sound advice
"I've seen that restless look before"
Momma warned as I walked out the door
chorus
I know he has good intentions
He never plans to let you down
In spite of all his good intentions
His kind don't ever stick around
So what good are all those good intentions
bridge
Now we're standing here; I hold your little hand
I'm trying my best to make you see
How its not your fault, how your pa can be
Still loving you but leaving me
chorus
When he had good intentions
He never planned to let us down
In spite of all his good intentions
His kind don't seem to stick around
So what good are all those good intentions
