Good Enough

from Dust Windows by Kingsley Flood

/

lyrics

I combed my hair real nice tonight
I wore cologne and a shave real tight
No picture frames, no bracelet chains in mind

The buses are lined and lit so warm
I pay my fare and glide easily on
She sat right next to me and sold her scent for a smile

A hat hides headphones, a foot tapping soft
A tattoo peeking where her jeans cut off
I want her sins but I don’t want her name

Her shoes look like ones that you once wore
With a broken buckle jingling on the dance floor
And when you fell, you blamed them well and I sighed
But I ain’t sighing now

If it’s good enough for you, well then it’s good enough for him

The bus slows, she reaches low
Grabs her bag, stands up, grabs the pole
And down the stairs, while my hands are bare and clean

I wonder if she’ll dance tonight
I wonder if her shoes will stay tight
I wonder why I’m wondering at all
And so I say

If it’s good enough for you, well then it’s good enough for him
