Good Intentions

by Tom Parker
The road to hell is paved with good intentions
The road to hell is paved with good intentions
How was I gonna know
That she really would go
That's something that nobody ever mentions

The more I walk around this lonely city
The less I see the people smiling there
If things only could be
Like I want them to be
Then the world could be peaceful without a care

I put my money in the Wall Street market
I thought I'd see it grow and turn to green
But if I only had sold
And bought a bunch of gold
That's back when the Dow was way over 14K



The night was young, the trees were gently swaying
The stars were bright and magic filled the air
As we danced to and fro
I said things not apropos
If I'd kept my mouth shut, she might still be there

And so I sing my sad and lonely story
And dream about the way things used to be
I was only trying to help
Not thinking of myself
Now I think that it's best to just think for me, oh

All my good intentions
