The Best Thing That I Had Goin'

(Jerry Salley/Chris Stapleton)



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.



Chorus:

But what good is all that knowin'

The best thing that I had goin'

Is gone.



--- Instrumental ---



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.



Chorus:

But what good is all that knowin'

The best thing that I had goin'

Is gone.



--- Instrumental ---



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.



Chorus:

But what good is all that knowin'

The best thing that I had goin'

Is gone.

Is gone...
