(Jerry Salley/Chris Stapleton)
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...
