An inspirational song about getting out of your own way and not giving into your inner critical voice. This song is reminiscent of the great Carole King with a modern day twist. Great hook - it's hard to get this one out of your head! | MP3.com CD: A Life In The Day - buy it!

Story Behind the Song
Interestingly enough, I wrote this song after a long night in the recording studio. As we did one take after another, I became more and more frustrated with myself...I just couldn't seem to get the right vibe, vocal quality, tone, etc... It seemed like nothing I did or sang was Good Enough. My inner critical voice was at it's all time high and it got me thinking...well, actually...it got me writing. After we wrapped for the night, I sat down with just me and my guitar and came up with this song. It seemed to just flow out of me like a dam that was broken after years of blockage. At the time, it was cathartic (to say the least), but now it has become a gentle reminder to be more excepting and forgiving of my imperfections. I dedicate this song to the inner critical voice that exists in all of us.
Lyrics
GOOD ENOUGH
D. Meredith/D. Zeman
Each time I turn around I'm in my way
Throwing salt on my wounds and calling names
I'm not perfect
While clipping my wings you ask my to fly
You see me through unforgiving eyes
I'm not perfect
Is that a crime?
So what's it gonna take?
What's it gonna take, tell me
What's it gonna take to be good enough
Good enough
I wanna be like others who seem
To be living their lives so flawlessly
They're not perfect
They're just like me
So what's it gonna take?
What's it gonna take, tell me
What's it gonna take to be good enough?
Good enough
Well, I've been down a time or two
But, I get right up in spite of the things I do
I'm not perfect...
What's it gonna take?
What's it gonna take, tell me
What's it gonna take to be good enough?
Good enough
REPEAT CHORUS
