I saw an old man in a veterans hat At the service station pumping his gas Pulled up beside him blaring B side Merle He said there's still some good it this world He said Hag was the poet for the common man Got him through his tour in Vietnam He was the first dance to a brown-eyed girl When there was still some good in this world He went and pulled out a picture that was sitting on his dash I lost my Lydia a couple years back Took that pension and I bought her those pearls When there was still some good in this world Walked in the station I put 10 on pump 8 Behind the register I can see it on her face Right then and there I gave ole kindness a whirl To show there's still some good in this world So I pulled out the 20 told her you can keep the change Making ends meet ain't met on minimum wage Don't make a dent, but makes a day for a girl To show there's still some good in this world Thought about that old man's love on my quiet ride home The girl behind the register and the love of my own These days are numbered, my perspective has grown Tonight I'm gonna hold her like tomorrow ain't known I guess getting gas and tippin' cash changed the way I see the world There still some good in it, and that good is you, girl
