My Good Gal

(album: Big Iron World - 2006)

Well she drug me down
Tossed me 'round
Slammed my name all over town
My good gal ain't no good to me
She makes true love more like misery

Now I'm walking hunched
I get drunk a bunch
So would you sucker up and take a punch
My good gal ain't no good to me
And I think I've acted reasonably

Ah, but I miss her
And all that I wish from her

Is the time of day
Don't go out of your way
Just a-leave me with a stack of them bills to pay
My good gal ain't no good to me
And she don't have the courtesy

To shut the door
When she's been playin a whore
I don't wanna see his rags out on the floor
My good gal ain't no good to me
And I only wish that she could see

That I miss her

Ah, but I miss her
All I have is a picture... of her

It was taken years ago
I was a kid, you know
Just a-leaning up against that El Dorado
My good gal ain't no good to me
And the final word belongs to me

Because I drove her out of town
And I shot her down
And I left her there in the cold, cold ground
My good gal ain't no good to me
Not even in her memory
