Best Thing (Stripped Version)

from Behind Green Hearts by Lesley Barth

/

about

A stripped down acoustic guitar version of a song off my album Green Hearts, "Best Thing."

lyrics

I took a walk around the other side.
A little talk. I thanked you for the ride.
With just one kiss, all the feeling that we missed
Came flooding back.
Tell me, how the hell’d I get this far off track?

Some people say that there’s no compromise,
No other way. So they repeat their lies.
But what if today we turned this whole damn thing around
And found a way to throw a party over what was once hallowed ground?

I wonder why you do me so good?
Oh, you knew that you would.
And you, baby, what’d you do to make me want you so bad?
To be the best thing I’ve had.
You’re the best thing I’ve had.

Down on the street you get your fortune told.
But what is it worth if you buy what you’ve been sold?
See, all of this gold sits so close just out of reach.
Bounties untold.
Oh, it’s a great big ocean when you make it past the beach.

I wonder why, you do me so good?
Oh, you knew that you would.
And you, baby, what’d you do to make me want you so bad?
To be the best thing I’ve had.
You’re the best thing I’ve had.

Well, I guess that’s just the way this story goes.
You just skim the surface but never get below.

I, God I wonder why, you do me so good?
Oh, you knew that you would.
And you, baby, what’d you do to make me want you so bad?
To be the best thing I’ve had.
You’re the best thing I’ve had.
