Good Thing

Ever since I was ten, it was me and my friends Playing touch football in the driveway Yeah, we would pretend, it was ten seconds left Super Bowl Hail Mary on the last play So when the coach said, "You want a scholarship?" I couldn't help but cry But after one year and two surgeries It wasn't meant to be Turns out it was a good thing that it didn't work out 'Cause I wouldn't be where I am right now It's a good thing God closed the door He wanted to give me so much more Than I ever thought I wanted Turns out that he was only getting started And turning all my pain And all my broken dreams into a good thing We were high school flames I planned on changing her name Having kids and a house down in Denver But along the way started sleeping separate ways And we just couldn't make it better I asked God what I did to deserve this But little did I know he was helping me grow So I could find my person It was a good thing that it didn't work out 'Cause I wouldn't be where I am right now It's a good thing God closed the door He wanted to give me so much more Than I ever thought I wanted Turns out that he was only getting started And turning all my pain And all my broken dreams into a good thing Oh, into a good thing I had to hang up my cleats and she broke my heart What I thought was the end was just the start I never got that job so picked up that guitar Moved to Tennessee to write some songs It was a good thing (it was a good thing, it was a good thing) Hmm, it was a good thing (it was a good thing) (Ooh) yeah, yeah, yeah Turns out it was a good thing that it didn't work out 'Cause I wouldn't be where I am right now It's a good thing God closed the door He wanted to give me so much more Than I ever thought I wanted Turns out that he was only getting started And turning all my pain And all my broken dreams into a good thing Hmm, into a good thing, hmm
