The Best Thing That I Had Goin’

[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
