You Got It Right

Met you in a dive out on highway 20

You were serving beer, your dress was way too tight

I had just one, and then I had plenty

I thought you looked cute but ready for a fight

 

We dated right away was like a dream come true

You moved into my place on the very third day

I fell in love before I even knew you

I was nuts about every word you’d say

 

You said I was a fool and a lousy liar

That it’s gonna be over on one moonlit night

I said I’d love you more than forever

But guess what… you got it right

 

I took a job with a hi-tech bubble

It all went fine then blew up in my face

Somehow you managed to stay out of trouble

We fought all the time but you stayed at my place

 

I mentioned kids you thought that was funny

I mentioned a house you just stood and grinned

I mentioned commitment you talked about money

I said are we losing you said how can we win

 

I was a two-time born-again loser

Headed for the bottle & the nearest dive

You said no matter what happened

I was bound to make it just out of spite

I thought you were crazy, called you a boozer

 

But guess what… you got it right

 

Ten years later & I’m playing Vegas

I’ve got two hit songs in the top 25

You’re the mother of three in Cabo Ortegas

Your husband drives a truck out on I-95

 

I told my son all about you

But don’t worry boy your mom’s the love of my life

I said I didn’t think I could live without you

Then I met the woman who became my wife
