The Good Guy Gets the Girl
Sam Leatherwood

VERSE 1
Watchin? T.V. late last night
Some old movie in black and white
Sad, funny story kind?a like mine
Girl fell in love with the wrong guy
He broke her heart and made her cry
While the good guy loved her bad, but she couldn?t see
Now it?s always a happy ending when the good guy gets the girl
But sometimes it can hurt you boy if it happens in your world

CHORUS
There she goes, there she goes
The sweetest love I?ve ever known
I was wrong, and I lied
Now she?s found someone who?ll treat her right
I should be glad, but I?ll cry this time
When the good guy gets the girl

VERSE 2
I play those scenes over in my head
Two of us sittin? up in my bed
Popcorn and wine, and those late night shows
How we loved those sentimental fools
All is fair in love, that?s the rule
May the best man win, and the bad guy lose
Now it?s happily ever after when the good guy saves the day
But something in my story didn?t turn out quite that way

CHORUS
There she goes, there she goes
The sweetest love I?ve ever known
I was wrong, and I lied
Now she?s found someone who?ll treat her right
I should be glad, but I?ll cry this time
When the good guy gets the girl

REPEAT CHORUS
