Good As She Could Be Lyrics

Well she was a millionaire 

Before she was fourteen 

But there was an emptiness there 

That to practically everyone else could be seen 

She hit up on the drug of love 

Though there was no hole in her arm 

There was a hole some place else 

About as big as dady 10.000 acre farm 



CHORUS: 

Oh, she was dying for it 

For all the world to see 

Ah, she was as good as she could be 



Well she had a baby at eighteen 

Never finished high school 

Her husband beat her for money and sex 

Till that cadillac finally ran out of fuel 

One disaster led to another 

Down to her and her baby son 

Born with a silver spoon in her mouth 

Headed south now 

Cause she was never born to run 



REPEAT CHORUS 

REPEAT CHORUS 



Well her momma died last year 

And her daddy he called her back home 

But when he opened the door 

He could not recognize 

This spectre of hair and bone 

But it was his own baby child 

Though she looked like an old woman now 

Well she lived ten lifetimes in five years 

Anywhere that the law would allow 



REPEAT CHORUS 

REPEAT CHORUS 

Yeah, she was good as she could be 

Ah, she was good as she could be
