Life Had Plans For Me (feat. Parker Diffie)

Mm-mm

He said when I was ten I was gonna to be a Cowboy
Wear that star and be a hero
And fill Roger Staubach's shoes
I went on to be the pride of Stevens County
And I still hold all the records at Jefferson High School
Got a full-paid ride with the Vols at Tennessee

He said, "I had plans for life
But life had plans for me"

Sometimes you want it bad
Oh, but that ain't good enough when something more important comes along
And you're forced to give up what you've been workin' toward
Waitin' for, chasin', slavin', cravin', and prayin' for the chance to live your dreams

He said, "I had plans for life
Oh, but life had plans for me"

He said I had too much before I moved to Knoxville
I spent those summer nights with Jenny
And we both couldn't wait
Got there, met the coach, and got my number
And barely settled in got a call from Jenny cryin'
She was three weeks late
I didn't want to be a dad at just 19

He said, "I had plans for life
But life had plans for me"

Sometimes you want it bad
Oh, but that ain't good enough when something more important comes along
And you're forced to give up what you've been workin' toward
Waitin' for, chasin', slavin', cravin', and prayin' for the chance to live your dreams

He said, "I had plans for life
Oh, but life had plans for me"

And he said now I got my Jenny
Bills to pay and mouths to feed
Oh, and my life turned out better
Than I ever thought it would be

Yeah, I had plans for life
But life had plans for me

He said when I was ten I was gonna be a Cowboy
