Just One More Good Day
Discription
Just One More Good Day is a sentimental country ballad shaped by quiet reflection and the kind of grief that settles into the corners of a home long after the people who filled it are gone. The song sits in the space between love and loss, where cherished memories linger in everyday things. Folded clothes that still hold a familiar scent. Notes left behind in drawers. Rooms that echo with a silence that feels too heavy to name. It carries the emotional weight of losing both parents and inheriting a world that suddenly feels larger than you know how to live in.
The music is gentle and grounded, built on acoustic fingerpicking, soft steel guitar, upright bass, and light piano that moves like a slow breath. Subtle pads and slide guitar accents create a warm but aching backdrop, letting the story unfold without rushing. The production stays close to the heart of the song, allowing every word to sit naturally while the instruments offer quiet support. It has the sound of a late night when you find yourself holding onto memories because you are afraid they will slip away if you let go.
Each verse opens another window into the storyteller’s life, revealing what it means to stand in the middle of an inheritance that came at too high a cost. The song explores how people often see the surface, the financial gain, the outward success, without understanding the true price of loss. It reflects on the reality that wealth cannot replace presence, laughter, or one more shared moment with the people who shaped your world. The chorus becomes a confession that no amount of material comfort can ease the ache of wanting one more ordinary day with them.
Musically and emotionally, the track captures the stillness that follows life changing loss. It blends classic country storytelling with a modern, intimate softness that keeps the focus on honesty and vulnerability. The vocal delivery is restrained but full, carrying the kind of truth that comes from real experience. Every line serves the message of the song: love is what made life meaningful, and the absence of that love is a weight no inheritance can lift.
By the end, Just One More Good Day settles into the heart as a tribute to parents, to memory, and to the wish so many people share. It honors the moments that shaped a lifetime and the longing for just one more sunrise, one more conversation, one more day with the ones who meant everything. This is a song for anyone who knows the depth of that wish and carries it with them every day.
Lyrics
[Verse 1] 🌅
I got a house that touches heaven
And a Mustang with custom chrome
Beautiful house and acres wide
But this place don’t feel like home
Signed the papers, read the will
The ink was barely dry
All that money hit my name
The same week I said goodbye
[Pre-Chorus] 🌤️
They said, “You’re set now, son, go live”
But not like this — not like this
[Chorus] 💔
I’d give it all back, every dollar I stacked
From that cold, clean check in the mail
If I could rewind to the old cookout days
Where their laughter never failed
I’ve flown first class, I’ve worn diamond rings
But none of it warms the pain
I’d trade this fortune, burn it away
For just one more good day
[Verse 2] 🏠
Daddy’s pants still sit folded nicely
His scent still in my flannel
Mama’s notes tucked in the drawers
Still change the TV channel
But they ain’t here to see it now
To walk these halls of stone
Got all the bedrooms and no comfort
In this quiet, echo home
[Verse 3] 🌧️
People say I have it all
People say, “I wish I was you”
When I buy wild things just to fill the time
They say, “It must be nice” — if they only knew
They only see the outside view
[Pre-Chorus] 🌫️
The price of love was far too steep
It bought the world, but not my peace
[Bridge] 🎸
Steel guitar cryin’ what I can’t say
Heaven’s rich now, I just pray
They know I’d give it all away…
[Final Chorus] ⭐
I’d give it all back, every dollar I stacked
From the day that they passed away
If heaven made deals, I’d sign it now
For just one more good day
[Outro] 🌙
Yeah… just one more good day…
Artist Take
I wrote “Just One More Good Day” because there are moments in life when the world hands you something you never asked for and calls it a blessing. People tell you you’re lucky. They tell you you’re set. They tell you your life just changed for the better. But they do not see what it cost. They do not hear the silence that follows the signatures. They do not feel how heavy it is to inherit a world that suddenly has two empty chairs in it.
This song came from walking through a house that should have been full of comfort, only to realize the comfort was never in the walls. It was in the people. It was in the noise. It was in the way my parents made even the simplest days feel like something worth remembering. When they passed a year apart, I gained acres, money, and things with value on paper, and I lost the only two people who made any of it mean anything. That is the kind of trade no one prepares you for.
I kept looking around at everything they left behind. My Dad’s folded clothes still hold his scent. My Mom’s little handwritten notes keep turning up in drawers I have not opened in years. These small pieces of them feel richer than anything that ever came in a legal document. And yet, the world sees the outside, the property, the cars, the resources, and they say, “It must be nice.” They do not understand that I would burn every bit of it to the ground if it meant one more backyard cookout, one more laugh, one more ordinary moment with them.
I cry almost every time I hear this song, because this is deeply personal and sits on my heart every day. That is the heart of this song. Not just grief, but love. Not just loss, but the longing for one more simple day with the people who shaped you. It is a reminder that the things we inherit are not what make us who we are. The people do. Their voices. Their habits. Their warmth. And when they are gone, all the fortune in the world cannot fill that space.
This song tells the truth. My truth. And I know I am not the only one who feels this. “Just One More Good Day” is for anyone who would give anything, absolutely anything, to go back for one more hug, one more laugh, one more moment with the ones they love. It is a song for the hearts that still miss someone every single day.

What I really wanted to capture was that feeling that none of it actually separates us. Whether you grew up with mixtapes or playlists, cargo pants or TikTok fits, we all show up for the same reason. We want to feel alive when the beat drops. We want to forget everything for a few minutes. We want to act a little dumb and have it feel completely right.
This song lets two worlds meet in the same room. The old heads, the new school, the ones who burned CDs and the ones who AirDrop everything. It is all the same energy with different packaging. Once the bass hits, nobody cares what decade you came from.
That is the heartbeat of the track. Just people having fun, laughing at the differences, and realizing how similar we actually are.
