Billy Joe Royal - A Good Thing Lyrics

Bridgette was a sweetheart

With Greek letter around her neck on a chain
She wasn't really my type she was beautiful and I'm kind of lame
Her mind was closed like a liquor store on a Sunday
She's trying to make ex-boyfriend mad
It's kind of a rebound
But, that's ok
She married with a kid on the way
And I'm glad that I didn't stand in the way of a good thing


Shelby was a stripper
And damned good mechanic and a friend
She used to pick me up in her ?64
And take me places that id never been
She drank vodka on the rocks wit a tall glass
Chased with cocaine and her teenage girlfriends
I couldn't faze her
That's ok
Now she living wit a girl named Renee
Last I heard she was teaching in Frisco
She's got a good thing


Alice was s bartender
At a place that I used to play for awhile
Some of the girls didn't like ?er
She'd twenty dollar tips with a smile
I'd used to talk to her tried to get in her head
We'd just end up drunk in my bed
I never knew her
But that's ok
She's in Vegas making 5 bills a day
She said that I wasn't too much fun when I'm sober
But now she's got a good thing

So there to the lady who name it hurts me to day
She the proverbial one that got away
She said that life's that all a young girl has
And I can't mine while I'm living you
But I don't blame her
That's ok
She's married a kid and a kid on the way
But I'm glad that I didn't stand in the way of good thing
Yeah she's got a good thing, a good thing
hmmm-hmmm
