The Best Thing That I Had Goin'

The Best Thing That I Had Goin' - Brad Paisley

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 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 everything

Gave her all 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
