Song Lyrics

Play the intro twice then start singing
You know when you're young and you know everything
The sky is the limit and the grass is a little more green
No matter where you are
And I coulda swore back when I was 15
I'd go to college and get my business degree
I never made it that far
God put a big old wrench in my plans
And he put this guitar in my hands

So much for crystal balls and wishin' on stars
As you're watchin' them fall to the ground
Yeah you can dream big and you can dream small
But it all comes down to the luck of the draw so I found

Cause its gonna rain as soon as you wash your car
And as sure as you go on and give up you're heart a curve gets thrown
That's the way things go

I woulda tattooed her name on my arm
If you would've asked me Id bet the whole damn farm
And more on us
So much for her being my meant to be
'Cause she changed her mind like the wind and the joke was on me
She left me in the dust
But if she hadn't left my heart black and blue
I woulda never found you

So much for crystal balls and wishin' on stars
As you're watchin' them fall to the ground
Yeah you can dream big and you can dream small

But it all comes down to the luck of the draw so I found
'Cause its gonna rain as soon as you wash your car
And as sure as you go on and give up you're heart a curve gets thrown
Yeah a curve gets thrown
That's the way things go
