Good to Be Wrong
Embracing Redemption: Discovering Life's Truths in 'Good to Be Wrong'
Lyrics
I was wrong about the whiskey
I made a mistake regarding the impact of whiskey.
Wrong about the drugs
I made an error in my judgment about drugs.
Wrong when I told mama her prayers wouldn't do no good
I was mistaken when I told my mother that her prayers were ineffective.
I grew up like most other guys
I had a typical upbringing like most guys.
So I don't know when it started and I don't know why
I am unsure when and why a certain behavior or situation began.
It's so hard for me to admit when I'm wrong
It's challenging for me to admit when I'm wrong.
So when I started farmin where the wild oats grow
I started engaging in risky behavior or activities.
Mama called said she was prayin and she thought I should know
My mother called, expressing concern and praying for me.
Her prayers get answered so I told her the same ole nothins wrong
I dismissed my mother's prayers, claiming nothing was wrong.
But the hell inside me just got hotter
Emotionally, I became more troubled.
And somewhere between the powder and the bottle
Between substance abuse and its consequences, I discovered something I was unaware of.
I found out what I never knew I didn't know
I found out what I didn't know I didn't know.
And I was wrong about the whiskey
I was incorrect about the effects of whiskey.
Wrong about the drugs
I misjudged the impact of drugs.
Wrong when I told mama her prayers wouldn't do no good
I was wrong in dismissing my mother's prayers as ineffective.
Wrong about forgiveness oh and bein too far gone
I was mistaken about the possibilities of forgiveness and feeling too lost.
