Story Behind The Song
This is become an alaskan favorite at festivals. The crowd loves t and it is mostly a song about the good things in Alaska and the independant spirits that it attracts. There are a few versions of this song out there, bluegrass and country, but this solo one shows that it works with just a guitar and voice, like all good songs do. I wrote it in my truck.

Lyrics
It?s Good
(chorus)
It?s good to be a young man, it?s good to sing a song.
It?s good to hear your voices, when you all sing along.
It?s good to climb a mountain and look up in the sky.
It?s good to see a waman, with a sparkle in her eye.
It?s good to be on the Talkeetna river, and float around all day,
It?s good to see a grizzly bear that?s just far enough away.
It?s good to take the day off and just sit around and stare somewhere and ?it?s good to quit the job your on, when they ask you to cut your hair.
(chorus)
It?s good to pass the peace pipe,
And it?s good to take a hit.
It?s good to say ?to the heck with the world?
But it?s good to give a shit.
It?s good to know the truth
It?s good to know the lies
Someday I hope the system, will get smart and legalize..
(chorus)
