The Best Thing That I Had Goin' Lyrics
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
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
Repeat chorus
Well I squandered my time trying to buy 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
Repeat chorus
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
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
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

I don't know why anyone hasn't posted. This song starts out wierd, but once you really hear it, it is awesome. The guitar, bass, madolin, and banjo all playing at once makes it sound pretty cool. This song also shows off his vocals pretty well.
