Good to Go

Elliott Smith

a low riding junkie girl

rode down south to yr little world like a dream

you can do it if you want to

you can do it if you want to

you can do it if you want to be like me

i wouldn't need a hero if i wasn't such a zero

if i wasn't such a zero

good to go

all i ever see around here is things of hers that you left lying around

it's all i ever see around here

she kicked new york like a curse

and you traced her footsteps in reverse up to queens

you can do it if you want to

you can do it if you want to

you can do it if you want to be like me

i wouldn't need a hero if i wasn't such a zero

if i wasn't such a zero

good to go

all i ever see around here is things of hers that you left lying around

it's all i ever see around here

some empty envelopes from some other town

it's all i ever see around here

i'm waiting for something that's not coming

This poignant track explores the intricate emotional landscape of feeling lost and searching for meaning. The lyrics suggest a complex relationship with self-worth and the continuous battle against inner demons. A particularly poignant moment in the song is when Smith addresses the duality of hope and despair, painting a vivid picture of a person who is ready to face whatever comes, yet remains burdened by aching loneliness and existential uncertainty. The song serves as a raw, introspective commentary on the human condition and the resilience needed to navigate through life's darkest moments.
