Real Good Men

Where have all the "real good men" gone?



Girl, you've never known no one like me
Up there in your high society
They might tell you I'm no good
Girl they just need to understand
Just who I am

I may be a real bad boy
But baby I'm a real good man

I may drink too much and play too loud
Hang out with a rough and rowdy crowd
That don't mean I don't respect
My mama or my Uncle Sam
Yes sir, yes ma'am

I may be a real bad boy
But baby I'm a real good man

Might have a reckless streak
At least a country mile wide
If you're gonna run with me
It's gonna be a wild ride
When it comes to lovin' you
I've got velvet hands

I'll show you how a real bad boy
Can be a real good man

I'll take all the good times I can get
I'm too young for growing up just yet
Ain't much I can promise you
Except to do the best I can
I'll be damned

I may be a real bad boy
But baby I'm a real good man

Real Good Man as performed by Tim McGraw

I'm not asking for a wild man who wears boots and an embellished belt buckle like my Daddy does. I'm not asking for someone who is exactly like me. I just want someone who loves me for me. Some who isn't with me because I'm the only happiness they have, but because their life wouldn't be the same without me. I know that sounds contradictory, but it isn't. There is a difference between the two. I want someone who doesn't have to be with me, but wants to be anyway. I want someone who sees the cute side and the serious side and will make me laugh when I'm crying.

This is directed at someone specific, but I'll ask that they don't post a comment here. You know where I'll find it if you think you need to express something about it. I love you. You are dear to me. You complete my circle.
