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 rocks with a tall glass 
Chased with cocaine and her teenage girlfriends 
I couldn't faze her, that's OK 
But now she's living with a girl named Renee 
Last I heard she was teachin' 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 her, she'd get 20 dollar tips with a smile 
And I used to talk to her, try to get in her head 
We'd just end up 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 all a young girl has 
And I can't find 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
