Lyrics

I can do some things that you never thought of

I possess abilities or skills that may surprise you.

Make an engine run on water

Capable of making an engine function using water as fuel.

Better than Chevrolet

Superior to Chevrolet in some aspect.

Give me the time and place

Provide the specific time and location.

I can drop a buck from across the holler

Able to accurately hit a target from a distance.

You know I ain't talking dollars

Not referring to money when mentioning "bucks."

From half a mile away

Capable of achieving something from a considerable distance.

Put dinner on your plate

Prepare a meal for you.

Green grass and gravel

Knowledgeable about both rural and rough terrains.

I know like the back of my hand, mmhm, uh

Familiar with a subject or area very well.

Backroads and honey holes are all things that I understand

Understand concepts related to rural areas and prime spots for various things.


But tell me, what good is being good at everything

Questioning the value of being proficient in everything if lacking in the ability to love.

If I'm no good at loving you

Acknowledging the deficiency in loving the person addressed in the song.

And what good is doing everything I've ever done

Highlighting the futility of achievements if promises made are not fulfilled.

If I never did what I promised to

Regret for not fulfilling commitments.

'Cause now I know being good ain't good enough

Understanding that being skilled isn't enough if it doesn't benefit the person addressed.

If I never was that good for you

Admitting that being skilled isn't adequate for the person's needs.

And darling if moving on is what you want then go on

Expressing willingness to let the person move on if that's what they desire.

Good for you, uh

Approving or supporting the decision of the person addressed to move on.


My daddy taught me how to love my mama

Received guidance on love and respect from father about mother.

How to show respect and honor

Learned about showing honor and respect.

No, it ain't nothing new

Nothing groundbreaking or unfamiliar.

But when it comes to you

Difficulty understanding the issue when it comes to the person being addressed.

I can't seem to figure out the problem

Feeling unable to identify the problem in the relationship.

I'm always doing something wrong and

Consistently making mistakes in the relationship.

I know you're on the edge, I'm trying my best

Aware of being close to losing the person and putting in effort to prevent it.


But tell me, what good is being good at everything

Reflecting on the insignificance of being skilled if incapable of loving.

If I'm no good at loving you, oh

Recognizing the deficiency in loving the person being addressed.

What good is doing everything I've ever done

Highlighting the lack of fulfillment regarding promises made.

If I never did what I promised to

Expressing regret for not fulfilling commitments made.

'Cause now I know being good ain't good enough

Acknowledging that being skilled isn't sufficient if it doesn't benefit the person being addressed.

If I never was that good for you

Admitting that being skilled isn't adequate for the person's needs.

And darling if moving on is what you want then go on

Supporting the decision of the person addressed to move on.

Good for you

Approving or supporting the decision of the person addressed to move on.
