She was the best thing, best thing that he ever had

She was the best thing.

He switched from rum to whiskey.

She was the only decent thing in a good for nothing town.



She was the prettiest girl in an ugly town.

He must feel sorry

I know he hates it



He switched from rum to whiskey

[bang bang] bang bang, he put her down

[bang bang] bang bang, he put her down down



She was the best thing, best thing that he ever had



Do you remember the beer on her breath?

Do you remember your hands on the hem of her dress?

Do you remember crying when the skirt she wore tucked under your hand?

He switched from rum to whiskey



[bang bang] bang bang, he put her down

[bang bang] bang bang, he put her down

[bang bang] he switched from rum to whiskey

[bang bang] he switched from rum to whiskey



Did it keep you from finding someone new?

bang bang

He took her down in two



She was the best thing in this god forsaken town

I'm sure that he longs to be free of sin



He switched from rum to whiskey

[bang bang] bang bang, he put her down

[bang bang] bang bang, he put her down

[bang bang] he switched from rum to whiskey

[bang bang] he switched from rum to whiskey
