Verse 1:
He called my daddy "sir", and my mama "ma'am"
He'd go out of his way to plan dates, but didn't mind just staying in
He knew all my favorite songs, he got along with all my friends
Left little love notes for me in unexpected places
He really listened when I talked
And always knew just what to say
Chorus:
It was a good start, a good chance
A good thing with a good man
Damn, we had a lot of good times and front porch kiss goodnights
And I could see us building up a real good life
That's why it hurt so bad when he said goodbye
Verse 2:
It replays in my mind, over and over again
His, "this just ain't working out, hope we can still be friends"
They say you don't know what you have, til the moment that it's gone
But I knew it then, and I know it now, and that's why I'm barely hanging on
(Chorus)
Bridge:
And I could drag his name through the mud
Tell everyone what he's done
Make him out to be the bad guy
But it'd all be a lie
Final Chorus:
It was a good start, a good chance
A good thing with a good man
Dang, we had a lot of good times and front porch kiss goodnights
He had a good heart, a good soul
I thought what we had was good as gold
He was good for me, I was good for him, the kind of love you think you won't find again
And I could see us building up a real good life
Had my heart set on forever, yeah that's why
It hurt so bad when he said goodbye
