On an album famous for talking about addiction I don’t think It’s a stretch to say “Good to Go” is about addiction. Elliott Smith uses this song to paint it in a different way; his negative feelings and emotions consume him, and he needs an out. You can assume drugs or a partner.
[Verse 1]
A low riding junkie girl
Rode down south to your little world like a dream
[Pre-Chorus]
You can do it if you want to
You can do it if you want to
You can do it if you want to be like me
[Chorus]
I wouldn't need a hero
If I wasn't such a zero
If I wasn't such a zero
Good to go
[Post-Chorus]
All I ever see around here is things of hers that you left lying around
It's all I ever see around here
[Verse 2]
She kicked New York like a curse
And you traced her footsteps in reverse up to Queens
[Pre-Chorus]
You can do it if you want to
You can do it if you want to
You can do it if you want to be like me
[Chorus]
I wouldn't need a hero
If I wasn't such a zero
If I wasn't such a zero
Good to go
[Post-Chorus]
All I ever see around here is things of hers that you left lying around
It's all I ever see around here
Some empty envelopes from some other town
It's all I ever see around here
I'm waiting for something that's not coming
