Kevin Zarnett - One Good Deed Lyrics

For at least one night my star shone bright
I could smile and be proud of my name
Good deeds were not my history
Trouble always calls me out to play

I could turn it around
Sink my past into the ground
To never make a sound
It's one good deed 'til the bad deeds are found

Hoistin' up their sails the Press have caught the trail
Finding flesh to dress this hero's bones
"He saved a life, but what about his wife?"
She said, "ask him 'bout the night he never came home."

I could turn it around
Sink my past into the ground
To never make a sound
It's one good deed 'til the bad deeds are found

Was quite a mess to which I did confess
The time on my hands won't wash away
I understand, you can't trust this man
I don't trust myself I have to say

I could turn it around
Sink my past into the ground
To never make a sound
It's one good deed 'til the bad deeds are found

One good deed I wanna believe
Could be all you need
One good deed could turn the bad deeds around
