Too Good to Keep

Somebody tell me I won't lose it now

Three years sober from the worst of me
Paid off the truck and the credit cards
I wake up early now, I say my grace
Got a job I like and a little yard
Got a key to a door that I didn't break
Got a name that my neighbors like to say
I should be grateful, and God, I am
But I don't trust a single thing today
'Cause I know how the story goes
When a boy like me gets what he wants

'Cause every time I'm happy
Something comes to take it
Every time I'm happy
I'm just waiting on the break

Got a girl, got a dog, got a porch in the sun
Got a mama who calls just to say she's proud
It's too good to keep, too good to keep
Somebody tell me I won't lose it now

Too good to keep
Oh, it's too good to keep
Don't let me lose it now

She laughs in the kitchen with the radio on
I'm counting the exits like a man in a fire
She says, "Baby, you can finally breathe"
I say, "I'm breathing," but I'm lying, I'm tired
Don't know how to hold what I didn't earn
Don't know how to rest when the rest is new
Every good thing I have ever had
Had a way of slipping right on through
So I hold her a little too tight at night
Like the morning's gonna take her too

'Cause every time I'm happy
Something comes to take it
Every time I'm happy
I'm just waiting on the break

Got a girl, got a dog, got a porch in the sun
Got a mama who calls just to say she's proud
It's too good to keep, too good to keep
Somebody tell me I won't lose it now

Don't take it, don't take it
I will give you anything
Don't take it, don't take it
Just let me keep this thing
Don't take it, don't take it
Just let me keep this thing
Don't take it, don't take it
Let me keep this thing

Got a girl, got a dog, got a porch in the sun
Got a mama who calls just to say she's proud
It's too good to keep, too good to keep
Somebody tell me I won't lose it now

Too good to keep
Oh, it's too good to keep
Don't let me lose it now
