The Best Thing That I Had Goin’

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Finally got that promotion I worked hard to get One that came with a company car And 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, knowing The best thing that I had going is gone? [Verse 2] 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, knowing The best thing that I had going is gone? [Verse 3] 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 holding her [Chorus] But what good is all that, knowing The best thing that I had going is gone? Is gone
