A Good Idea At The Time
--words and music by Michael Stanley

Well the smoke's all cleared, the bodies all counted
And the first on the list looks a lot like me
And wounds get licked, retreats get mounted
When you're blind to everything
That everybody else can see

	But it seemed like a good
	A good idea at the time ... at the time

Mistakes get made and things get broken
And picking up the pieces 
Never was a strength of mine
And eyes shut tight 
And a heart wide open
It's just a bad combination 
And trouble's comin' down the line

	But it seemed like a good
	A good idea at the time ... at the time

Ain't no wishful thinking
Ain't no best laid plans
Ain't no way around it tonight ...

	But it seemed like a good
	A good idea at the time ... at the time
	But it seemed like a good
	A good idea at the time ... at the time
