It's Not Bad
He's working at his second choice job
Married to his second choice wife
He's wearing second choice second-hand clothes
All settled in his second choice life
He's listening to his second favorite song
Driving in his second choice car
He's cruising down the back streets of a town he's come to like
Headed to his second choice bar
It's not bad but it's not what he had in mind
It's not bad as a matter of fact it's just fine
Those great big dreams only take you so far
'Till they're just empty wishes in an empty jar
He and his second choice wife
Sit and eat their second choice meal
At their second choice restaurant, just around the corner
From the house that they bought, it was the second-best deal
He goes to the Second Baptist Church
Never for a second thought twice
Likes his second childhood better than the first
He's one with his second choice life
It's not bad but it's not what he had in mind
It's not bad as a matter of fact it's just fine
Those great big dreams only take you so far
'Till they're just empty wishes in an empty jar
If you're always second-guessing, having second thoughts
Don't think for a second it's just you
It's just your second nature, it's the way that we've been taught
Sometimes second is the best that we can do
It's not bad, but it's not what we had in mind
It's not bad as a matter of fact we're just fine
Those great big dreams only take you so far
'Till they're just empty wishes in an empty jar
Those great big dreams only take you so far
'Till they're just empty wishes in an empty jar
Married to his second choice wife
He's wearing second choice second-hand clothes
All settled in his second choice life
He's listening to his second favorite song
Driving in his second choice car
He's cruising down the back streets of a town he's come to like
Headed to his second choice bar
It's not bad but it's not what he had in mind
It's not bad as a matter of fact it's just fine
Those great big dreams only take you so far
'Till they're just empty wishes in an empty jar
He and his second choice wife
Sit and eat their second choice meal
At their second choice restaurant, just around the corner
From the house that they bought, it was the second-best deal
He goes to the Second Baptist Church
Never for a second thought twice
Likes his second childhood better than the first
He's one with his second choice life
It's not bad but it's not what he had in mind
It's not bad as a matter of fact it's just fine
Those great big dreams only take you so far
'Till they're just empty wishes in an empty jar
If you're always second-guessing, having second thoughts
Don't think for a second it's just you
It's just your second nature, it's the way that we've been taught
Sometimes second is the best that we can do
It's not bad, but it's not what we had in mind
It's not bad as a matter of fact we're just fine
Those great big dreams only take you so far
'Till they're just empty wishes in an empty jar
Those great big dreams only take you so far
'Till they're just empty wishes in an empty jar
