Tracy Byrd - You Never Know Just How Good You've Got It lyrics

rate me

Hey once I was a honky tonkin' talk of the town

Ridin' high in my bad Chevrolet

I had seven pretty women Lord hanging on me

A different one for every day

But look at me now all my women's left town

And a buck is getting hard to come by

Well I must confess my life's a big mess

I'm so low I could lay down and die

Well you never know just how good you've got it

Till you ain't got it no more

You never know just how high you're flying

Till you fall face down on the floor

All I can do is just moan the blues

And dream about what I had before

Hey you never know just how good you've got it

Till you ain't got it no more

Here lately I've become one pool sharkin' fool

Make my living on the buddies of mine

I was cookin' last night when the chips were all down

So I laid everything I had on the line

I knew I'd regret that hundred dollar bet

But you never learn until it's too late

We flipped and I lost and then I paid the cost

When the eight fell in on the break

Well you never know just how good you've got it

Till you ain't got it no more

You never know just how high you're flying

Till you fall face down on the floor

All I can do is just moan the blues

And dream about what I had before

Hey you never know just how good you've got it

Till you ain't got it no more

No you never know just how good you've got it

Till you ain't got it no more
