You Never Know Just How Good You've Got It - George Jones

Hey, once I was a honky-tonkin talk of the town

Riding high up in my bad Chevrolet

Had seven pretty woman, Lord, hanging on me

A kissing one for every day

Aw, but look at me now my women’s left town

And a buck is getting hard to come by

Yes, I must confess my life’s a big mess

I’m so low I could lay down and die

Well, you never know just how good you’ve got it

Till you ain’t got it no more

You never know just how high you’re flyin'

Till you fall straight down on the floor

All I can do now is just to moan the blues

And dream about what I had before

You never know just how good you’ve got it

Till you ain’t got it no more

Yeah, uh huh

--- Instrumental ---

Lookout now

Oh, the first time in my ramblin' life

True love finally fell in my hands

But it’s impossible to love just one

With another on the other end

Hey, I begged her to stay but she left anyway

I lost her and she’s to hard to find

What else can I do, some you win, some you lose

But I think I lost a good one this time

Well, you just don’t know how good you’ve got it

Till you ain’t got it no more

You never no just how high you’re flyin'

'Till you fall straight down on the floor

All I do now is just to moan the blues

And dream about what I had before

You never know just how good you got it

Till you ain’t got it no more

Hey, you never know just how good you’ve got it

Till you ain’t got it no more…
