Intro Chords:
Rachel was a sweetheart with greek letters around her neck on a chain
She wasn’t really my type, she was beautiful, and I’m kinda vain
Her mind was closed like a [Bm/A]liquor store on Sunday
She’s tryin to make her ex boy[Bm/A]friend mad
It’s kinda of a rebound, that’s OK
She’s married with a kid on the way
And I’m glad I didn’t stand in the way
Of a good thing
Shelby was a stripper and a damn good mechanic and a friend
She used to pick me up in her 64 and take me places I’d never been
She drank vodka on the [Bm/A]rocks in a tall glass
Chased with cocaine and[Bm/A] her teenage girlfriends
I couldn’t face her, that’s OK
But now she's living with a girl named Renee
Last I heard she was techin’ in ‘Frisco
She’s got a good thing
Alice was a bartender at a place I used to play for a while
Some of the girls didn’t like she’d get 20 dollar tips with a smile
I used to talk to her, [Bm/A]try to get in her head
We’d just end u[Bm/A]p drunk in my bed
I never knew her, that’s OK
She’s in Vegas making 5 bills a day
She said I wasn’t too much fun when I was sober
And now she’s got a good thing
So here’s to the lady who’s name it hurts me to say
She’s the proverbial one that got away
She said life is[Bm/A] all a young girl has
And I can’t find my [Bm/A]mine while living in yours
I don’t blame her, that’s OK
She’s married with a kid and a kid on the way
And I’m glad I didn’t stand in the way
Of a good thing
