The Best Thing That I Had Goin'

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"
 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
 But what good is all that knowin'?
 The best thing that I had goin'
 Is gone

 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
 But what good is all that knowin'?
 The best thing that I had goin'
 Is gone
 Is gone
