PRETTY GOOD GUY (4:01)
written by Blake J Berglund (SOCAN/ASCAP)

lyrics

He's addicted to pinball like cocaine
Dabbled with the latter just the same
He's gone and cheated on a couple of his lovers
He never tells the cops his real name
So they call him Boss, or Hoss, or Handsome
He'll never pass a chance to get high
You can always judge a band by their covers
Bet your ass that he's a Pretty Good Guy

Five months straight of six night shifts through the weekend
Represent a working mans voice
A pseudo-metal, punk-rock loving outlaw
You damn rights a mama's boy by choice
Be it hours or days of a distance
He'll always get you out of a bind
You can always judge a man by his mother
So bet your ass that this one is a Pretty Good Guy

A smooth talking devil of the nightlife
An early morning coffee cup in hand
Well, he'll exercise his freedom of expression
And he won't back down once he takes his stand
He can talk himself out of any situation
But he sure as hell ain't afraid to fight
Never get between a man and his brother
Bet your ass that he's a Pretty Good Guy
All good times should be followed by another
Bet your ass he's a Pretty Good Guy
Good God, he's a good guy
Good God, he's a pretty good guy

The timing of the coronavirus pandemic aligned with the ending of an album cycle and Blake Berglund accepted it was more interesting to disappear.

Berglund emerges in a new environment as a truther with a job to do. His songwriting is influenced by a rapidly changing society and the glaring difficulties of the human condition. A thoughtful twang packaged with a fearless and satirical wit.
