Unfortunate Kind

It was a good time
Just a bad decision
We were all wrapped up with the best intentions

You were out of my league
And I was running out of time
To string together words that were gonna make you mine

Ain't it funny how it all works out
Ain't it funny how it all works out
Ain't it funny how every now and then the unfortunate kind, get lucky sometimes

Thirty nine years
You've been putting up with me
You're folks said we'd never see our first anniversary

Do you remember that first week
When you burnt that pecan pie
And I ate the whole damn thing I couldn't stand to see you cry

Ain't it funny how it all works out
Ain't it funny how it all works out
Ain't it funny how every now and then the unfortunate kind, get lucky sometimes

Then you got sick
And things just weren't the same
There were days I'd come to visit and you didn't even know my name

Then I watched you fade away
While I was holding tight to you
Until the nurses pulled me back and said there's nothing you can do

Ain't it funny how it all works out
Ain't it funny how it all works out
Ain't it funny how every now and then the unfortunate kind, get lucky sometimes

It's been two years to the day
Since you left me here alone
Most days I sit there in the kitchen waitin for you to come home

Yeah I'm still haunted by your ghost
I can't sleep in our old bed
I just lay there on the couch thinking bout the words you said

Ain't it funny how it all works out
Ain't it funny how it all works out
Ain't it funny how every now and then the unfortunate kind, get lucky sometimes
