Brad Paisley The Best Thing That I Had Goin' Lyrics

The Best Thing That I Had Goin' lyrics

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

My good friends come around to hang out now and then
And they joke, man you've sure got it hard
[From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/brad-paisley-lyrics/the-best-thing-that-i-had-goin_-lyrics.html]
With this house on the hill and a white picket fence
And the grass sure is green in the yard

[Repeat chorus]

Well I squandered my time trying to buy 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

[Repeat chorus]
