Good Is Gorgeous

I could chase a golden rocket, Bet my shoes and empty pocket, Dream so big I miss my train, Smile like chaos is a plan. Mama said, “Now hold your horses, Life’s not won by wildest forces, Sometimes smart is kind of cool, Even if it’s not brand-new.” I don’t need a diamond circus in the sky, I don’t need a jackpot falling from on high, Give me something steady, something I can trust, A little shine is more than enough. I’d rather get a good thing right Than chase a perfect maybe all night. Solid shoes and a sunny view, That’s more my style than a fantasy too. Hey, if it works and makes me smile, Why should I gamble mile by mile? Good is good, and good is gorgeous, Baby, safe can still be glorious. I could order extra magic, End up broke and slightly tragic, Buy a dream in neon light, Then eat noodles every night. Funny how the shiny promise Usually forgets what honest is, I’d prefer a dance that lands Over castles built on chance. I don’t need a blazing comet just for show, I don’t need a miracle that may not show, Give me something steady, something sweet and true, A small win looks real good too. I’d rather get a good thing right Than chase a perfect maybe all night. Solid shoes and a sunny view, That’s more my style than a fantasy too. Hey, if it works and makes me smile, Why should I gamble mile by mile? Good is good, and good is gorgeous, Baby, safe can still be glorious. No offense to glitter, darling, But I’m not here for free-fall falling. You can keep your moonshot kiss, I’ll take peace and call it bliss. A hundred “maybes” look impressive, But one real answer? That’s attractive. I’d rather get a good thing right Than chase a perfect maybe all night. Warm enough and bright enough, Turns out that can be the strongest love. Hey, if it stays and does me well, That’s a sweeter story I can tell. Good is good, and good is gorgeous, Baby, real can still be glorious.
