You Never Know Just How Good You`ve Got — текст песни (Tracy Byrd)

(Mark Nessler)

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
