Terry Wright - '' I Lost My Good Thang''

I was in Possum Bend for the holidays, and this was one of the most-played southern soul songs in south central Alabama.  I LOVE it!

I done lost my good thang
I done lost my good thang

Came home this morning from a late night in the streets
Everything in my home was gone
She done finally left me
I should have known this day was coming
By the way I’ve been carrying on
But this is what can happen when you do your woman wrong
The only thing she left was a note on the bedroom door
It said don’t bother looking for me
I’m not coming back no more

Chorus
I done lost my good thang
I done lost my good thang
I done lost my good thang
I done lost my good thang

You see I got greedy, couldn’t leave well enough alone
Temptation got a hold on me
I started staying away from my home
I was trying to keep it a secret
And be real discreet
But everything I done in the dark
It came out in the street
I didn’t believe her, I didn’t think she’d go
She said if you don’t think I’m leaving
Just count the days I’m gone

Chorus

Two months later while I was out riding around
Saw my baby with another man
She was out on the town
So I pulled over and said
I don’t mean no harm
I just want to apologize
For the wrong that I’ve done
She said, you don’t have to say you are sorry
I want you to understand
If you hadn’t done me wrong
I would have never met this man

Chorus

Enjoy!!
