Filmed in Los Angeles
IS A GOOD MAN REAL?
I’ve never known one,
What do they do?
We’ve all heard the legends,
But can they be true?
My cousin’s best friend’s boyfriend
Once nearly cooked a meal,
So is a Good Man real?
Does he try to remember
What his old lady said?
When he sleeps in on Tuesdays,
Does he straighten the bed?
Once he’s had three martinis
He’ll let you take the wheel.
Oh is a Good Man real?
I’ve never seen a narwhal,
the unicorn of the sea.
But if God made whales
And put horns on the males,
Maybe he’d put a heart in a guy for me.
He don’t need money (I said good, not perfect),
I’ll settle for honey
And a quarterly date.
So if you see this treasure
Please let him know how I feel:
I hope a Good Man’s real.
I’ve never seen a narwhal,
The unicorn of the sea.
But if God made whales
And put horns on the males.
Maybe he’d put a heart in a guy for me.
He don’t need money,
I’ll settle for funny.
So if you see this sucker,
Please let him know how I feel:
I hope a Good Man’s real.
I really wonder:
Is a Good Man real?

You blew me away on Colbert last night! I am sharing your music with some of my coworkers who love this type of real music. Please, please keep it up! Some of us think we should have been born 100 years ago. Thank you for this wonderful music.

I first saw you on Colbert a week or so ago and couldn't get this song out of my head. I love the Lake Street Dive vibe and now thanks to Colbert, I'm loving this duo. Great voice and talented musicians. Cool man, cool! 😎

[@agnome1176]

🗿🧙🏻‍♂️👉8/3/23 🎶ready 4 tonight 🎉 It was 100degrees last time they played here😳too hot to go🥵& this will be a family thing 19,22 & two 61 yr olds

[@dianashaw2459]

Seen you on Colbert. You were really good. Reminded me of Billie Holiday.

[@yackorama]

Sooo Good!! 💖

[@rogermarcoux8029]

That was outstanding! I really really appreciated the front vocal placement. Just drove the sound. A just damn lovely band. I would have wished to see the sax solo better. Hint hint; post release; can you package a video of the album, recorded similarly to this one (maybe more just the musicians). Though this video was very entertaining and very well assembled. Certainly added an extra human element. A+

[@dennishoover5497]

I love this ❤

[@sweetbrick]

how'd you get Stanley Tucci to play bass

[@annarose932]

Anyone here from Jool Holland Hootenanny 2023?

[@MrPistolpete1234]

Yep. She’s great, what a voice

[@WestsideRyan]

What model microphone are you singing into?

[@ElementJ247]

I know it's against the rules but can we sneak this track into Fallout 5?
