Intro Chords:
D G D G
D G
Bridget was a sweetheart with greek letters around her neck on a chain
D G
She wasn�t really my type, she was beautiful, and I�m kinda vain
Bm A G
Her mind was closed like a liquor store on Sunday
Bm A G
She�s tryin to make her ex boyfriend mad
D A
It�s kinda of a rebound, that�s OK
D G
She�s married with a kid on the way
D A
And I�m glad I didn�t stand in the way
D
Of a good thing
Shelby was a stripper and a damn good mechanic and a friend
She used to pick me up in her 64 and take me places I�d never been
She drank vodka on the rocks with a tall glass
Chased with cocaine and her teenage girlfriends
I couldn�t faze her, that�s OK
But now she�s living with a girl named Renee
Last I heard she was teachin� in �Frisco
She�s got a good thing
Alice was a bartender at a place I used to play for a while
Some of the girls didn�t like her, she�d get 20 dollar tips with a smile
And I used to talk to her, try to get in her head
We�d just end up drunk in my bed
I never knew her, that�s OK
She�s in Vegas making 5 bills a day
She said I wasn�t too much fun when I was sober
And now she�s got a good thing
So here�s to the lady who�s name it hurts me to say
She�s the proverbial one that got away
She said life is all a young girl has
And I can�t find mine while living in yours
I don�t blame her, that�s OK
She�s married with a kid and a kid on the way
And I�m glad I didn�t stand in the way
Of a good thing
