	Story Behind the Song The song was #2 in a trilogy of divorce songs all written in 1982. All three of them appear on the same album now, and a song written a lot later that amounts to a prequel also appears there. But there are also songs from the OTHER edge of romance - the incoming edge on the album. It was recorded in 3 or 4 takes, with the steel guitar overdubbed later by Country Dave Harmonson, who also plays lead Telecaster. Lyrics The Best Of Everything © Marc Bristol BMI (Key of G) Well, the judge said you could have the house And the good car went with the place Left me drivin’ my beat up pickup And rentin’ a parkin’ space Well, the rent is high, but so am I I’m sittin’ here having a ball ‘cause you took the best of every thing, but you left the best thing of all Yeah you took the best of everything But you left the best thing of all You can stand on top of all that you got You still ain’t gonna look that tall You might think you come out on top But you’re cruisin’ for a fall ‘cause you took the best of everything but you left the best thing of all Well, of course you had to have all our antiques To go with your nice new house But this Salvation Army reject stuff Why it’s good enough for your old spouse You might think you’re gonna leave me here Robbin’ Peter to pay off Paul ‘cause you took the best of everything, but you left the best thing of all (chorus) You took the best pots and pans, and plates and knives and forks of course and even the best of the children’s toys leavin’ behind this old rockin’ horse You might think some new sugar daddy’s Gonna make you feel like the queen of the ball ‘cause you took the best of everything but you left the best thing of all (chorus)
