Intro

Verse 1

I was just a

young man, A little

wet behind the

ears

She grew up at the

country club with the

diamond chande

liers

I worked at the feed store

I was broke and

naive

She was next in line for the

crown to be the rose

queen

Verse 2

I could get

alcohol,

she had a lot of

cash

We'd watch the June bugs

dance around while

lying on the

grass

I knew it wouldn't work out

for a hayseed like

me

But I couldn't resist to steal a

kiss from the rose

queen

Bridge

My

momma always told me she was

too rich for my blood

Her

daddy always said I was

never good enough

She was just a southern bell

lord I made her r

ing

Soaking wet from beads of sweat

busting at the

seams

Solo

Verse 3

She went off to

college I

stayed my ass back

home

She came back

sororitized as a

teenage debu

tant

Now she tries to act

like she don't remember

me

I guess I'm only good enough

once

Yeah I guess I'm only good enough

once
