Good Enough Today (Original Song) | Live Video Series #4 – Danny Whitecotton

Описание: This week’s video is an original song of mine, “Good Enough Today.”
I wrote this song about making peace with imperfection — the days when I procrastinate, get stuck, or chase things I can’t control. At the end of it all, sometimes you just have to let go of “perfect” and accept that it was good enough today.
When I performed this video, I was just getting over being sick. My voice was a little rough, but I actually think it made the performance more honest. This song isn’t about polished perfection — it’s about the cracks and the messiness that make life real.

Lyrics:
Looking out the door, I see a stormy world out there
No need to let the wind whisk me anywhere
So I stay home and let the radio sing
Comfy chair and a highball full might be just the thing

It’s good enough today
It’s good enough to keep the blues away
Sip on the silence, shut out the pain
It’s good enough today

Burned the frozen dinner, left the porch light on
Forgot all the words to our favorite song
Car window was down when it rained
Carelessness isn’t bad luck when it’s deeply ingrained

It’s good enough today
It’s good enough to keep the blues away
Blow out the smoke, shut out the rain
It’s good enough today

Crawling in the sheets, defeated once again
Maybe I’ll wake up a winner and try to pretend
My moldy old car will run another year
I’ll pay off the credit card, find my new career

It’s good enough today
It’s good enough to keep the blues away
So I’m sipping the cheap stuff until I’m paid
It’s good enough today
