Nearly Meant to Be

Met her in a bar Oh, how I remember that day Beer was flowing off tap And I was the drunkest there I'd say Pretty little woman who left me high and dry Who took my ass home because I was in no state to drive Back at her place I found a six string there She said, do you play I said, only if you care We played all damn night until we found the morning sun She went off to work and I almost died from all the rum But if I was a dreamer and little bit better with words I wouldn't be running away from that damn girl And if I weren't a cowboy then I probably would've stayed But these roads here look so damn good to me Nearly meant to be Met her back at school I thought that she was great Every time I talked to her She had a smile across her face Dunno why, why she'd ever love me so But just of being country I had to let her go Days rolled into night And my heart still thought of her Never gonna forgive myself For what I did to her She's nearly married now, I shouldn't have to feel so bad She's got that same damn smile, the same one I had But if I was a dreamer and little bit better with words I wouldn't be running away from that damn girl And if I weren't a cowboy then I probably would've stayed But these roads here look so damn good to me Nearly meant to be I have made mistakes I'm sure that we all have One day I'll feel What those married men have A white picket fence and some kids left for the loving A letter to those special girls who made me feel like something But if I was a dreamer and little bit better with words I wouldn't be running away from that damn girl And if I weren't a cowboy then I probably would've stayed But these roads here look so damn good to me Nearly meant to be
