The Best Thing That I Had Goin'

Finally, got that promotion I worked hard to get One that came with a company car When they gave me the keys, they said "Son, you can bet, keep it up, and you'll really go far" But what good is all that knowin'? The best thing that I had goin' Is gone My good friends come around to hang out now and then And they joke, man you've sure got it hard With this house on the hill and a white picket fence And the grass sure is green in the yard But what good is all that knowin'? The best thing that I had goin' Is gone Well, I squandered my time trying to buy her everything Gave her all that I thought she deserved Now I know all the things that she wanted were free And I should have been home holdin' her But what good is all that knowin'? The best thing that I had goin' Is gone Is gone
