Sometimes we seek comfort and escape in dangerous places. Bad choices and "too much of a good thing" just might kill ya.

Moderation is such a hard thing to do sometimes.

Ain't always a good thing, that you just can't put down (x2)
'Cause too much of a good thing...gonna put you in the ground

Might come in a bottle, gonna take your pain away (x2)
But when tomorrow is today, man are you gonna pay

Might come in a bag, gonna ease your worried mind (x2)
but when you roll too many, ya start to lose what you're tryin' to find

Might come in a pill, or some candy for your nose (x2)
But the Blues will come a callin', when that good thing finally goes

Might be a woman, oh lord that makes you feel so good (x2)
But when she says goodbye, you'd lay down and die if ya could

Ain't always a good thing, that you just can't put down (x2)
'Cause too much of a good thing..gonna put you in the ground
