Ain't It Funny

I miss the pine trees
Can still see the dogwood flowers I'd pass
I'm on my way I've run out of reasons to say I'm sorry
That's three years behind me
And still just yesterday I'm alone again in Japan
Feeling like I'm less than the man I want to be
I've got some friends back home that don't return my calls
Looking down from seven floors don't change the height of the fall
Was it meant to be this way or can a man change his destiny

Ain't it funny how even the rain was better on the east coast
And everything I need was so far from what I wanted most
Spent all my life wishing I'd find someone like you
Finally found my way to where you are
Ain't it funny how

I can't remember 19
There's still a cloud hanging over
Flowers Court on my face I can't move and my heart is racing it's Tuesday
Can't let what I've done define me
If there's a God then I believe but keep searching to find the meaning
Don't burn it after you read it; I'm here to stay
I let my history repeat more times than I care to say
But my momma knew what she was doing when she taught me to pray
Am I just my father's child or can a man change? You tell me

Ain't it funny how even the rain was better on the east coast
And everything I need was so far from what I wanted most
Spent all my life wishing I'd find someone like you
Finally found my way to where you are
Ain't it funny how even the pain reminds you of what you ignore
I found the Penny Lane to my William Miller without a tour
All I ever wanted sleeping right next to me
It's nice to be loved just as you are
Ain't it funny how

Will my kids be just like me?
It haunts me
Has the worst yet to find me?
Cuz we never know what's coming next
Finding favor not trying to make it; faith over my reputation
I'd spit in the face of Satan before I become complacent
You understand all I'm saying; the observation I'm making
Is it's funny ain't it

Ain't it funny how even the rain was better on the east coast
And everything I need was so far from what I wanted most
Spent all my life wishing I'd find someone like you
Finally found my way to where you are
Ain't it funny how even the pain reminds you of what you ignore
I found the Penny Lane to my William Miller without a tour
All I ever wanted sleeping right next to me
It's nice to be loved just as you are
Ain't it funny how
