Lyrics

We both tried out when we were 16
2 kids on a hundred yards of green
But I'm the one who ended up in the stands

That was my ticket to my degree
Dave came from a rich family
He's the one that ended up with books in his hands

They say that life is funny
But sometimes it's hard to laugh
You peek around the corner and it'll kick you in the can
It ain't always the way you planned it
But sometimes it's meant to be
It shoulda been me

I met Kim in chemistry
Had plans for a farm and we were gonna be
The high school sweethearts that everyone dreams about

Her dad lost his job and later that year
They moved out west and now I hear
She's married to a farmer from a small country town

Chorus

Bridge:
I mighta been a farmer, mighta thrown a touchdown pass
but things happen for a reason sometimes you take a different path
I married a girl from Kansas and I love our family
And if things had stayed the way they were who knows where I'ld be

They say that life is funny
But at times it's hard to laugh
You peek around the corner and feel it kick you in the can
It ain't always the way you planned it
But thank God it's meant to be
Cause It coulda, shoulda, woulda and I'm glad it's me
