paroles de chanson The Good Intent - Rosanne Cash

I sailed in on the Good Intent
With all intentions clear
A man without a mystery
A vision brought me here
The ocean gave me room to roam
But the shore in calling out
So I will marry, build a home
And see what that's about

Children came by dozens then
Drifting south like rain
I work the soil, I use the gun
The waves have turned to grain
I tried to love this Arkansas
With black and bleeding hands
I will not survive this life
But I'll become a man

My brother sold my mother's house
I never shed a tear
I could watch the world in smoke
There's nothing for me here
I've seen behind the darkened veil
And it's all I want to know
So I'll sail off on the Good Intent
To my true happy home
Yes I'll sail off on the Good Intent
Never more to roam
