Good One Coming On
Embracing Life's Unseen Beauty: A Reflection on 'Good One Coming On'
Lyrics
Daddy used to tell me all the time
Daddy used to tell me the passing of time is inevitable.
There would come a day when you realize
There comes a moment when you realize the swiftness of life.
How fast every day of your life flies by
Days go by quickly, and you can't retrieve them once gone.
You can't get it back again
Life is irreversible, emphasizing the importance of time.
I'm thankful for a man like that in my life
The speaker appreciates the wisdom of their father.
Turned out most of what he said was right
Many of the father's teachings have proven true.
Sitting here staring at 39, wondering where it all went
Reflecting on life at 39, wondering about its passage.
I ain't done yet
The speaker feels there is more to experience in life.
There's high times coming my way
Optimism about positive moments or successes ahead.
Somehow I know it'll be okay
Confidence that everything will be alright in the end.
In the blink of an eye
Life's unpredictability, emphasizing its fleeting nature.
It could all be gone
The impermanence of life, urging appreciation of the present.
Gotta good one coming on
Anticipation of a positive change or event in the future.
I still worry about the same old thing
Continued concern about personal success and recognition.
Is anybody gonna come and here me sing?
Expressing worry about being acknowledged for their talents.
And even if they do, won't have a thing to sing about
A fear of having nothing meaningful to share even if recognized.
Here in the land of make believe
Referencing a state of imagination or illusion.
I've got friends and family
Highlighting the importance of relationships with friends and family.
And your sweet touch is the centerpiece
The speaker's romantic relationship is vital and cherished.
Of what I can't live without
Emphasizing the essential nature of the partner's influence.
CHORUS x 2
Reiteration of the anticipation of positive changes to come.
