You Never Know Just How Good You've Got It Lyrics - Byrd Tracy

Hey once I was a honky tonkin' talk of the town 

Ridin' high in my bad Chevrolet 

I had seven pretty women Lord hanging on me 

A different one for every day 

But look at me now all my women's left town 

And a buck is getting hard to come by 

Well 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 flying 

Till you fall face down on the floor 

All I can do is just moan the blues 

And dream about what I had before 

Hey you never know just how good you've got it 

Till you ain't got it no more 

Here lately I've become one pool sharkin' fool 

Make my living on the buddies of mine 

I was cookin' last night when the chips were all down 

So I laid everything I had on the line 

I knew I'd regret that hundred dollar bet 

But you never learn until it's too late 

We flipped and I lost and then I paid the cost 

When the eight fell in on the break 

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 flying 

Till you fall face down on the floor 

All I can do is just moan the blues 

And dream about what I had before 

Hey you never know just how good you've got it 

Till you ain't got it no more 

No you never know just how good you've got it 

Till you ain't got it no more
