Song Lyrics

She's got a different star in her sky
She's got a different look in her eye
She's quieter now she's not as tough
But it was different when I was good enough

She's got store-bought clothes
She's got brand new shoes
She's got a different look and an attitude
She talks polite she's not as rough
But it was different when I was good enough

When I was good enough and we lived the life
Good enough and she carried a knife
Good enough and she wasn't like anybody that you ever knew
Good enough and she couldn't say no
Good enough she was on parole
She had nowhere else to go and I was good enough

And now she's acting oh so strange
I think that she's really changed
I think that she's lost her edge
I think that she's traded in
I think that she just lost it
I think that she just bought it
I think that she forgot
About when I was good enough

When I was good enough and we lived the life
Good enough and she carried a knife
Good enough and she wasn't like anybody that you ever knew
Good enough and she couldn't say no
Good enough she was on parole
She had nowhere else to go and I was good enough

And when I see her she says hi
But she's got that look in her eye
I know she's got some other guy
He looks like he's in junior high
I stole myself a car last week
Drove it up to Willis Peaks
Covered it in gasoline
But it's not the same when she's not with me

When I was good enough and we lived the life
Good enough and she carried a knife
Good enough and she wasn't like anybody that you ever knew
Good enough and she couldn't say no
Good enough she was on parole
She had nowhere else to go and I was good enough

She had nowhere else to go and I was good enough
She had nowhere else to go and I was good enough
