Back in 1994, I fell head over heels
for the boy next door.
I prayed every night and day,
for God to turn his head my way.
Graduation, he moved on,
Broke my heart like a counrty song,
Must have cried two rivers long.
Oh, but
Life goes on, and before too long,
You figure out you’re right where you belong.
Its sad and Its sweet,
But if youre lucky it keeps goin’
On and on and on.
Then came 1999, my heart broke
for the second time.
Left me crying on the steps.
Burned me down like a cigarette.
Just like that and he was gone,
My heart sunk like a ten pound stone.
Had no right to do me wrong.
Oh but,
Life goes on, and before too long,
You figure out you’re right where you belong.
Its sad and Its sweet,
But if youre lucky it keeps goin’
On and on and on.
My momma always said:
That there’ll be lessons that you learn,
but you dont need to know more right now.
But im learning as i go,
And the more i learn i know,
The less i wanna know any how.
I finally found my whole world,
A little boy and a little girl.
Got me a man with a heart of gold.
It all came back a hundred fold.
I watch the gravel kickin up,
As he pulls in the drive in his pick-up truck.
I just smile at my good luck.
Oh and
Life goes on, and before too long,
You figure out you’re right where you belong.
Its sad and Its sweet,
But if youre lucky it keeps goin’
On and on and on.
