She was the best thing, best thing that he ever had
She was the best thing
He switched from rum to whiskey
She was the only decent thing in a good for nothing town

She was the prettiest girl in an ugly town
He must feel sorry
I know he hates it

He switched from rum to whiskey
[bang bang] bang bang, he put her down
[bang bang] bang bang, he put her down down

She was the best thing, best thing that he ever had

Do you remember the beer on her breath?
Do you remember your hands on the hem of her dress?
Do you remember crying when the skirt she wore tucked under your hand?
He switched from rum to whiskey

[bang bang] bang bang, he put her down
[bang bang] bang bang, he put her down
[bang bang] he switched from rum to whiskey
[bang bang] he switched from rum to whiskey

Did it keep you from finding someone new?
bang bang
He took her down in two

She was the best thing in this god forsaken town
I'm sure that he longs to be free of sin

He switched from rum to whiskey
[bang bang] bang bang, he put her down
[bang bang] bang bang, he put her down
[bang bang] he switched from rum to whiskey
[bang bang] he switched from rum to whiskey
