Good As She Could Be Lyrics by John Hiatt

Good As She Could Be Lyrics

    Well she was a millionaire
    Before she was fourteen
    But there was an emptiness there
    That to practically everyone else could be seen
    She hit up on the drug of love
    Though there was no hole in her arm
    There was a hole some place else
    About as big as dady 10.000 acre farm

    Chorus:
    Oh, she was dying for it
    For all the world to see
    Ah, she was as good as she could be

    Well she had a baby at eighteen
    Never finished high school
    Her husband beat her for money and sex
    Till that cadillac finally ran out of fuel
    One disaster led to another
    Down to her and her baby son
    Born with a silver spoon in her mouth
    Headed south now
    Cause she was never born to run

    Chorus twice

    Well her momma died last year
    And her daddy he called her back home
    But when he opened the door
    He could not recognize
    This spectre of hair and bone
    But it was his own baby child
    Though she looked like an old woman now
    Well she lived ten lifetimes in five years
    Anywhere that the law would allow

    Chorus twice
    Yeah, she was good as she could be
    Ah, she was good as she could be
