Good To Me Lyrics

I’ve got a 1980 Volvo
I get in start it up and I go
It ain’t a vintage Cadillac
But it always gets me there and back
And it’ll always be good to me
Always be good to me
Always be…good to me
I got a beat up Supro amp
I plug in and it sound like a champ
Not a fender tweek deluxe
It cost me a couple hundred bucks
And it’ll always sound good to me…
And these things are all I need
All these things are good to me
I got a girlfriend and she’s so true
And no other kinda girl will do
Coz I’ve known some girls in the past
The kinda love they got don’t last
And she’ll always be true to me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I am surprised nobody's commented on this tune...this is the only other good song in the entire film Wicker Park that didn't suck and it didn't make the soundtrack. I think that version was done by the White Stripes, but both versions rock. Gratitude is a great theme for a tune and this is one of the better songs about it.

Yeah this song is some good rock & roll. I believe I got turned on to it by the White Strips cover which also rocks. The meaning is simple, he appreciates the things he has (His car, his amp & his girl)
