Lyrics
Pretty Good Man
From the moment she said that she loved me
Her eyes said she just didn't know
She wiped a bead of sweat from the top of her lip
So the little lie wouldn't show
Now I'm walking away with my hat in my hand
Don't know what I did but I did it again
Why can't a real good woman keep lovin this pretty good man?
Why can't a real good woman keep lovin this pretty good man?
If you ask me about it I'm doin the best that I can
I keep walking the line most of the time but still I don't understand
Why can't a real good woman keep lovin this pretty good man?
I know lots of women that stand by their man, some not much better than me
They don't have much trouble staying as a couple at least as far as I can see.
I know I'm not the best horse in the stable but I do what I can, whenever I am able
But at real good woman just left this pretty good man
Why can't a real good woman keep lovin this pretty good man?
