That's All We're Good For

Lyrics: Unknown
Music: Unknown

Played by the Healy-Treece Band in the early 1980s with Bill Kreutzmann on drums.

I applied for a job the other day
The gas station man told me to go away
It made me feel bad, I didn't know what to do
So I pick up my guitar and play the blues for you (note 1)

That's all we're good for
That's all we're good for
That's all we're good for
Just a song
Just a song

Well I tried for a while to get my message out
Let me tell you one thing that this is all about
Let me play my guitar for a long, long time
I'll make my fortune baby but you're always on my mind

That's all we're good for
That's all we're good for
That's all we're good for
Just a song
Just a song

Well I tried for a while to get my message out
Let me tell you one thing that the music's all about
Let me play my guitar for a long, long time
I'll make my fortune baby but you're always on my mind

That's all we're good for
That's all we're good for
That's all we're good for
Just a song
