Something Good This Way Comes Lyrics
Got my window open wide
Got my window open wide
Got a good woman by my side
Got a good woman by my side
Now this kind of day
Has no night
Yeah
This kind of day
Has no night
Ain't got much on my mind
Ain't got much on my mind
'Cause I know
Something good this way comes
Now watching the streets
Filling up
Watching the streets filling up
In the shade of the summer sun
In the shade of the summer sun
Got sweet apple pie on the stove
Got sweet apple pie on the stove
The birds they're all flyin' low
The birds they're all flyin' low
'Cause they know
Something good this way comes
The trouble, doll
Is not moving mountains, but
Digging the ground that you're on
If it's true
That good fortune gives no chase
We got just what it takes
Collar up on my coat
Collar up on my coat
Trucks are pullin'
In for the show
Trucks are pullin'
In for the show
Grasshopper jump in the road
Grasshopper jump in the road
Kids they're all running home
The kids
They're all running home
'Cause they know
Something good this way comes
Yeah
Something good this way comes
The trouble, doll
Is not moving mountains, but
Digging the ground
That you're on
If it's true
That good fortune
Gives no chase
We got just what it takes
Got my window open wide
Got my window open wide
Got a good woman by my side
Got a good woman by my side
'Cause I know
Something good this way comes
Yeah
Something good this way comes
Yeah
Something good this way comes
Mmmm, mmm, mmmm
Got my window open wide
Got a good woman by my side
Got a good woman by my side
Has no night
Yeah
This kind of day
Has no night
Ain't got much on my mind
Ain't got much on my mind
Something good this way comes
Filling up
Watching the streets filling up
In the shade of the summer sun
In the shade of the summer sun
Got sweet apple pie on the stove
The birds they're all flyin' low
The birds they're all flyin' low
Something good this way comes
Is not moving mountains, but
Digging the ground that you're on
If it's true
That good fortune gives no chase
We got just what it takes
Collar up on my coat
Trucks are pullin'
In for the show
Trucks are pullin'
In for the show
Grasshopper jump in the road
Kids they're all running home
The kids
They're all running home
Something good this way comes
Yeah
Something good this way comes
Is not moving mountains, but
Digging the ground
That you're on
If it's true
That good fortune
Gives no chase
We got just what it takes
Got my window open wide
Got my window open wide
Got a good woman by my side
Got a good woman by my side
Something good this way comes
Yeah
Something good this way comes
Yeah
Something good this way comes
Mmmm, mmm, mmmm

Very nice song...to me this song captures those times when you actually manage to stop and observe the simple yet profoundly beautiful moments in life...the company of your lover, smell of apple pie, jumping grasshoppers...those refreshing moments that actually make life worth living.
ya i gotta agree with regrets but i think its more bout waiting for something better to come along...
This is a great song. Judging by the video, it's about just staring out at the world optimistically. No worries, no thoughts. Just watching.
A nice simple song.... about nice simple things in life. Something about it makes me think of karma!
Go Jakob!
The whole song is alluding to Ray Bredbury's novel "Something wicked this way comes". I think it's a result after reading the book. Even the kids and grasshoppers... show, everything.
I may be wrong, but is there anyway the "Something good this way comes" will be having a good woman by his side?
This song is Jacob’s profession of faith with many biblical references. “ The trouble, doll Is not moving mountains, but Digging the ground That you're on If it's true That good fortune Gives no chase We got just what it takes”
We were all made in Gods image thus the doll. If you don’t believe in luck then you’ve got what it takes. Faith
