Something Good - The Bottle Rockets

Well we faded like the flowers

When you phased just like the moon

Then you left me empty-handed

On the dark side of the room

I was swinging for the fences

I was pouring out my heart

While you marveled at the plastic

That they use these days in cars

We had somethin' good

But good was never good enough for you

World turns

Rome burns

Can’t you hear that fiddle sound?

Time flies

Elvis dies

It’s all over but the shoutin' now

We had somethin' good

So you blamed the TV preachers

And you blamed your checkered past

Then you tossed me out

Like all your favorite things that never last

Seems the world has caught your fever

As it moves from fling to fling

But the devil’s in the details

And it still don’t change a thing

That we had something good

But good was never good enough for you

World turns

Rome burns

Can’t you hear that fiddle sound?

Time flies

Elvis dies

It’s all over but the shoutin' now

We had somethin' good

But good was never good enough for you

World turns

Rome burns

Can’t you hear that fiddle sound?

Time flies

Elvis dies

It’s all over but the shoutin' now

And we had somethin' good

But good was never good enough for you
