    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!

    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
