Good Boy

[Chorus]
You're gonna have to take him away
'Cause he don't wanna leave
Charlie's such a good boy, a good boy
Momma's crying out
Where's he hiding
Charlie's such a good boy

[Verse 1]
And now he's sleeping at home
In his rocket ship bed
Why does being good feel so damn bad
He stares at a picture of his runaway dad
Shines his flashlight steady
Kid, you're such an easy target
Without a rebel bone
You're so compliant
Quiet as a stepping stone
Did he give you the love
You've been yearning for
Did he give you what you need

[Chorus]
You're gonna have to take him away
'Cause he don't wanna leave
Charlie's such a good boy, good boy
Momma's crying out
Where's he hiding
Charlie's such a good boy, good boy

[Verse 2]
Have you heard the headlines
On blackberry street
There lived a kid out there in number 523
He came home smelling of old shaving cream
He began to act out
He became a little devil
BB gun to the birds
And he spit out the F, and the S, and D words
His momma asked the priest
And the priest replied
"He used to be an angel ma'am
Yeah I don't know why."

[Chorus]
You're gonna have to take him away
'Cause he don't wanna leave
Charlie's such a good boy, good boy
Momma's crying out
Where's he hiding
Charlie's such a good boy, good boy

[Bridge]
You can keep a secret right? Right
I can trust you with my life? Right
I don't get no sleep at night, night
You can keep a secret right?

[Chorus]
You're gonna have to take him away
'Cause he don't wanna leave
Charlie's such a good boy, good boy
Momma's crying out
Where's he hiding
Charlie's such a good boy, good boy
Take him away
'Cause he don't wanna leave
Charlie's such a good boy, a good boy
Momma's crying out
Where's he hiding
Charlie's such a good boy, a good boy
