Good Thing Lyrics
The one good thing in my life
Has gone away
I don't know why
She's gone away
I don't know where
Somewhere I can't follow her
The one good thing didn't stay too long
Woo who who who
My back was turned and she was gone
Hey hey hey
Good thing
Where have you gone
Doo doo doobie doo
My good thing
You've been gone too long
Good thing
Doo doo doobie doo
People say I should forget
New friend tomorrow
Don't get upset
People say she's doing fine
Mutual friends I see sometime
That's not what I want to hear
Woo who who who
I want to hear she wants me near
Good thing
Where have you gone
Doo doo doobie doo
My good thing
You've been gone too long
Good thing
Doo doo doobie doo
Good thing
Then one day she came back
I was so happy that I didn't act
Morning came
Hey hey hey hey
Into my room
Woo who who who
Caught me dreaming like a fool
Good thing
My good thing
Doo doo doobie doo
My my my my my good thing
Where have you gone
Good thing
Doo doo doobie doo
My good thing
Hey hey my good thing
Doo doo doobie doo good thing
Girl
Where have you gone
Good thing
Doo doo doobie doo good thing
It's been so long
Good God girl
Doo doo doobie doo good thing
Good God girl
Good God girl
Good thing
Doo doo doobie doo good thing
Good God
Doo doo doobie doo good thing
Good God
Has gone away
I don't know why
She's gone away
I don't know where
Somewhere I can't follow her
Woo who who who
My back was turned and she was gone
Hey hey hey
Where have you gone
Doo doo doobie doo
My good thing
You've been gone too long
Good thing
Doo doo doobie doo
New friend tomorrow
Don't get upset
People say she's doing fine
Mutual friends I see sometime
Woo who who who
I want to hear she wants me near
Where have you gone
Doo doo doobie doo
My good thing
You've been gone too long
Good thing
Doo doo doobie doo
Good thing
I was so happy that I didn't act
Morning came
Hey hey hey hey
Into my room
Woo who who who
Caught me dreaming like a fool
My good thing
Doo doo doobie doo
My my my my my good thing
Where have you gone
Good thing
Doo doo doobie doo
My good thing
Hey hey my good thing
Doo doo doobie doo good thing
Where have you gone
Good thing
Doo doo doobie doo good thing
It's been so long
Good God girl
Doo doo doobie doo good thing
Good God girl
Good God girl
Good thing
Doo doo doobie doo good thing
Good God
Doo doo doobie doo good thing
Good God

Nice song to listen to. The song meaning is pretty clear.
My take on this is that he got his "good thing" pregnant - or "in a family way," as they used to say. :-) So, she went away either to have the baby or...not.
I have a feeling that this song is about drugs (cocaine)... the guy loves cocaine and does it all the time. But then, the supply runs out. And then, one day, it's back. He takes a hit and next thing he knows he's on his bed waking up. His aformentioned sobriety away from coke hurt his resistance to it.
