Good News
Shaboozey · 2024
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- I need some good news
- Sittin' here, sippin' on cold truth
- Nobody knows what I'm goin' through
- But the devil wouldn't walk in my shoes
Sing the opening verse
- Keep on bluffin', but I just can't win
- Drown my sorrows, but they learned to swim
- Now, what a hell of a year it's been
- Head in bottle, but my heart in a cage
