got a baby girl sleeping in my bedroom
and her mama laughing in my arms
there’s the sound of rain on the rooftop
and the game’s about to start
i don’t really know how i got here
but i’m sure glad that i did
and it’s crazy to think that one little thing
could’ve changed all of it
maybe it didn’t turn out like i planned
maybe that’s why i’m such such a lucky man
for every stoplight i didn’t make
every chance i did or i didn’t take
all the nights i went too far
all the girls that broke my heart
all the doors that i had to close
all the things i knew but i didn’t know
thank god for all i missed
cause it led me here to
this
like the girl that i loved in high school
who said she could do better
or that college i wanted to go to
till i got that letter
4
all the fights and the tears and the heartache
i thought i’d never get through
and the moment i almost gave up
all lead me here to you
i didn’t understand it way back when
but sitting here right now it all makes perfect sense
for every stoplight i didn’t make
every chance i did or i didn’t take
all the nights i went too far
all the girls that broke my heart
all the doors that i had to close
all the things i knew but i didn’t know
thank god for all i missed
cause it led me here to this
how i cried when my mama passed away
but now i’ve got an angel looking out for me today
so nothing’s a mistake
for every stoplight i didn’t make
every chance i did or i didn’t take
all the nights i went too far
all the girls that broke my heart
all the doors that i had to close
all the things i knew but i didn’t know
thank god for all i missed
cause it led me here to this
it led me here to
this
