Lyrics

It was senior college year when I first met you
Those few months of love that were so true
I remember playing with your children
And Tennessee was the only home I knew

Then the perfect job for me came up in Denver
And I told you, 'I can't turn that offer down'
You looked at me and you hardly said a word
And I lost you the day that I left town

So I would think about you wherever I would go
And they'd sing songs about our love on the radio

(Chorus)
But today I found you'd found that other man I could've been
Who stuck around and joined your family
In the backyard with your precious children now I see
The other man I never tried to be

Been chasing this career since I first left you
One more town and one more dollar made
I can't help sometimes but sit and wonder
What home might feel like if I'd only stayed

Looking back I get lost inside the memories
How your son and daughter told me that they loved me
Lord how I'd have loved to watch them grow
You and I and them, a family never known

So I would think about you wherever I would go
And they'd sing songs about our love on the radio

(Repeat Chrous)

Cause today I found you'd found that other man I could've been
Who stuck around and joined your family
In the backyard with your precious children now I see
The other man I never tried to be

Yeah, the other man I always dreamed of being
