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... --- Instrumental to fade ---
