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 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
