Of a good thing

Shelby was a stripper and a damn good mechanic and a friend

She used to pick me up in her 64 and take me places I’d never been

She drank vodka on the rocks with a tall glass

Chased with cocaine and her teenage girlfriends

I couldn’t faze her, that’s OK

But now she’s living with a girl named Renee

Last I heard she was teachin’ in ‘Frisco

She’s got a good thing

Alice was a bartender at a place I used to play for a while

Some of the girls didn’t like her, she’d get 20 dollar tips with a smile

And I used to talk to her, try to get in her head

We’d just end up drunk in my bed

I never knew her, that’s OK

She’s in Vegas making 5 bills a day

She said I wasn’t too much fun when I was sober

And now she’s got a good thing

So here’s to the lady who’s name it hurts me to say

She’s the proverbial one that got away

She said life is all a young girl has

And I can’t find mine while living in yours

I don’t blame her, that’s OK

She’s married with a kid and a kid on the way

And I’m glad I didn’t stand in the way

Of a good thing
