Too Good for Me Songtext
von Corey Smith

I was learning how to love
And loving to learn
I fell for a girl one county north
Of the town where I was born
She was the most athletic senior
In the school where her mama taught
Popular and well respected
Everything that I was not

But I took a chance and stole a kiss
In her daddy′s living room
Then drove home lonely in the dark
A trembling heart and hands unglued
Setting myself up for heartbreak
What could she see in me?
Strung out with no plans for the future
White trash, filthy as could be


She was too good for me
She was too good for me
When she went off to college
I followed her out west
She hit the books and I hit the barrooms
My head in the clouds with all the rest
Oh, she was too good

We got married early summer
At an old plantation home
Both got jobs and started paying
A mortgage and student loans
A dog and cat like our two children
We'd all sit and watch TV
′Til the glass of whiskey I was drinking
Turned into two and three

We both knew something was missing
'Bout the time that our first young one came
We trimmed a room with our alma mater
And picked out a good boy's name
I watched ′em all there as she labored
Never felt so close to her
Hand in hand through every hour
It was all so beautiful


I cried, "Honey, you′re too good for me"
Still too good for me
Now I hear 'em giggling down the hallway
Man, I wish I had the time to play
But I′ve got a lot of work to do here
Yeah, we've got another one on the way
Oh, it′s all too good
Too good for me

I ain't seen God, but I know he′s out there
'Cause that woman still sleeps to the left of me
I've got more than any man could ask for
Lord, you′ve been too good, you′ve been too good for me
Oh, you've been too good
You′ve been too good for me
