The Last Good Man I Knew

Me and Jack rode through the years, Dust and blood, the same old gears. He spoke of heaven, I spoke of sin, He wanted out, I stayed in.

He said, “Boy, one day we’ll find home.” I said, “Hell’s the only road I’ve known.”

He was the last good man I knew, Ain’t no saint, but he stayed true. He kept his word, he paid his due — The last good man I knew.

He found peace, I found the fight, He built a life, I built the night. He wrote to me, said, “Don’t look back.” I poured one shot and stayed off track.

One day the letter came too late, Said he met his final fate.

He was the last good man I knew, Buried deep where the wind blew through. If heaven’s real, I hope it’s true — For the last good man I knew.

I don’t pray, and I don’t kneel, But I remember how he made me feel. He fought clean, I fought mean, He died young, I stayed unseen.

Now I ride with his ghost behind, Every mile rewrites the line.

He was the last good man I knew, Taught me what a man should do. No lies, no deals, no rescue — The last good man I knew.
