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
