Corey Smith - Too Good For Me lyrics
rate me<br>
I was learning how to love and love and learn.<br>
I fell for a girl one county north of the town where I was born.<br>
She was the most athletic senior in the school where her mama taught.<br>
Popular and well-respected, everything that I was not.<br>
But I took a chance and stole a kiss in her daddy's living room<br>
Then drove home lonely in the dark, trembling heart and hands unglued<br>
Setting myself up for heartbreak. What could she see in me?<br>
Strung out with no plans for the future. White trash, filthy as could be.<br>
She was too good for me.<br>
She was too good for me.<br>
When she went off to college, I followed her out West.<br>
She hit the books and I hit the bar rooms,<br>
My head in the clouds with all the rest.<br>
Oh, she was too good.<br>
We got married early summer at an old plantation home,<br>
Both got jobs and starting paying a mortgage and student loans.<br>
A dog and cat like our two children, we don't sit and watch TV.<br>
Til the glass of whiskey I was drinking turned into two or three.<br>
We both knew something was missing 'bout the time that our first young one came.<br>
We trimmed a room with our Alma Mater, picked out a good boy's name.<br>
I watched in awe there as she labored, never felt so close to her.<br>
Hand in hand through every hour, it was all so beautiful.<br>
I cried Honey, you're too good for me.<br>
Still too good for me.<br>
Now I hear them gigglin' down the hallway.<br>
Man, I wish I had the time to play.<br>
But I've got a lot of work to do here.<br>
Yeah, we've got another one on the way.<br>
Oh, it's all too good.<br>
Too good for me.<br>
I ain't seen God but I know he's out there,<br>
Cause that woman still sleeps to the left of me.<br>
I've got more than any man could ask for.<br>
Lord, you've been too good, you've been too good for me.<br>
Oh, you've been too good.<br>
You've been too good for me.<br>
<br>
