Goodbye to the Good Girl

#VERSE
She wore a cloak of many colors
For its Biblical flavor
But peeled it off at the party
James threw her as a favor
She promised she’d cut loose
To reinvent her name of Grace
Said, “I’ll burn that cloak and my past
In your fireplace”
#PRE-CHORUS
When the cloak came off
What was revealed
Was a vibrant woman
With a side she’d concealed
And she said…
#CHORUS
“Goodbye to the Good Girl
Goodbye to the boring old me
Hello to Bad Babe Heaven
That’s where I want to be”
#VERSE
Some party goers rolled their eyes
And one of them was me
Whispered to my buddy, Dave
“She’s like leather-jacket Sandy in the musical Grease”
Dave said, “I think Grace is that shy girl
Who never talked in seventh grade”
Then he did a double-take and said
“What a difference a dozen years has made!”
#PRE-CHORUS
I said, “Quit your drooling”
But Dave’s brain was distracted
And I had to admit
I saw why he was attracted
When she said…
#CHORUS
“Goodbye to the Good Girl
Goodbye to the boring old me
Hello to Bad Babe Heaven
That’s where I want to be
Who wants to be my tour guide
To my new and naughty world?
Somebody needs to help me say
Goodbye to the Good Girl
Goodbye to the Good Girl”
#BRIDGE
No one at the party volunteered
Then Grace pointed at Dave
She said, “Aren’t you the guy who played footsies with me
Under the table in Spanish class in seventh grade?”
Dave said, “I was a good kid then”
Grace said, “Not as good as me”
Dave joked, “But tonight that good girl goes away”
Grace shouted, “Yes, I guarantee!”

I went to the keg to get another beer
When I came back Dave was gone
A few days later, he caught up with me
Said he and Grace were going till dawn
Turned out they’d gone to Midnight Bowling
Then to Denny’s where they talked until five
Then to the early service at the old cathedral
Turns out they both bailed on their wild sides
#PRE-CHORUS
Seems when the cloak came off
What really transpired
Was that a middle school romance
Finally caught fire
So…
#CHORUS
Good luck to the Good Girl
Good luck to Good Boy Dave
Two good adults finding good love
That started with footsies in seventh grade
Grace planned to be his tour guide
To a new and naughty world
But they took a little detour
Buh-bye to the Bad Girl
#OUTRO
They have a great time together
Laughing, playing, praying in their comfortable world
They joke that they’ll be boring forever
Hello happiness, Good Boy and Good Girl
Hello happiness, Good Boy and Good Girl
