My Good Name

Words & music A. McKnight, ©2003 Catalooch Music, BMI

Verse 1
Can't escape my footsteps, follow hot on my tail
I'm running to catch my breath, on this long and lonely trail
So many wounds to heal, and old debts to repay
Many broken pieces to lay to rest, but not much more to say

Chorus
I cannot go back, make things the same
that be tantamount to shame
So I'll shoulder my share of burden and blame
and take the good out of my name

Verse 2
Remorse or redemption, one I know, one I seek
One a constant companion, the other I might never meet

Chorus
Interlude
Solo

Verse 3
Take my troubles to the river, push em out in the flow
Let em slip away in silence, and cross over, as I watch them go

Chorus
