The Only Thing Worse Than Beating a Dead Horse Is Betting on One

And I'm good, good, good to go

And I'm good, good, good to go

I gotta get away

Get away from all of my mistakes

And I'm good, good, good to go

And I'm good, good, good to go

I gotta get away

Get away from all of my mistakes

So here I sit looking at the traffic lights

The red extinguishes I hope that the green ignites

I want to run away I want to ditch my life

Cause all of my mistakes keep me awake at night

And after all of my alibis desert me

I just want to get by

I don't want nothing to hurt me

I had no idea where my head was at

But if my heart says I'm sorry can we leave it at that

Because I just want for all of this to end

And I so hate consequences

And running from you is what my best defense is

Consequences

God, don't make me face up to this

And I so hate consequences

And running from you is what my best defense is

Cause I know that I let you down

And I don't want to deal with that

And I'm good, good, good to go

And I'm good, good, good to go

I gotta get away

Get away from all of my mistakes

It just now hit me this is more than just a set back

And when you spelled it out, well, I guess I didn't get that

And every trace of momentum is gone

And this isn't turning out the way I want

And after all of my alibis desert me

I just want to get by

I don't want nothing to hurt me

And I had no idea where my head was at

But if my heart says I'm sorry can we leave it at that

Because I just want for all of this to end

And I so hate consequences

And running from you is what my best defense is

Consequences

God, don't make me face up to this

And I so hate consequences

And running from you is what my best defense is

Cause I know that I let you down

And I don't want to deal with that

And I spent all last night

Tearing down

Every stoplight

And stop sign in this town

Now I think there might

Be no way to stop me now

I'll get away despite

The fact I'm so weighed down

All of my escapes have been exhausted

I thought I had a way but then I lost it

And my resistance was once much stronger

And I know I can't go on like this much longer

When I got tired of running from you

I stopped right there to catch my breath

There your words they caught my ears

You said, "I miss you son. Come home."

And my sins, they watched me leave

And in my heart I so believed

The love you felt for me was mine

The love I'd wished for all this time

And when the doors were closed

I heard no I told so's

I said the words I knew you knew

Oh God, Oh God I needed you

God all this time I needed you, I needed you

And I so hate consequences

Running from you is what my best defense is

I hate these consequences cause I know that I let you down, and I don't want to deal with that
