Chancey Williams - Only the Good Ones Lyrics

I drew that one in a million up in Denver
Everything I had was ridin on that ride
That ol son of a buck beat me at the buzzer
Landed me in this ol downtown dive

Then this ol cowboy in some yesterday's Stetson
Eased up right beside me at the bar
He said "son, ya almost had him
Let me buy you the next one
Lord knows I've had my share,
Land me right here where you are, and

Only the good ones drive a man to drink alone
Better they are the closer they cut to the bone
Cnd most don't leave a hole, you can't cover with your hat
Only the good ones hurt that bad

He said "I was the envy of every cowboy on that circuit
Cnd I once held whole world in my hands
Til that night saw those bright lights
Get drowned out by the taillights
Of that Featherlight flying out the driveway like the wind and

Only the good ones drive a man to drink alone
Better they are the closer they cut to the bone
Cnd most don't leave a hole, you can't cover with your hat
Only the good ones hurt that bad

He said "but son, if you don't take that chance
You'll always wonder bout the best you never had

Only the good ones drive a man to drink alone
The better they are the closer they'll cut to the bone but you know I'd
Let em break my heart all over again cuz
Only the good ones,
Only the good ones
Only the good ones hurt that bad,

Only the good ones
Only the good ones
