Prompt / Lyrics
[Chorus] In another town, on another night You’d be ridin’ shotgun, runnin’ every red light We’d be talkin’ ‘bout forever like it’s just a word we say Yeah, we almost started somethin’ But the clock got in the way Guess we’ll never know what it could’ve been If it was a different day [Verse 1] Met you at football practice ‘on a hot summer day’ You were laughin’ at your phone, sippin’ on sweet tea Said you’re you going through a rough time “you wasn't living your dream I said, “it was sad, I was going through something similar." [Chorus] In another town, on another night You’d be ridin’ shotgun, runnin’ every red light We’d be talkin’ ‘bout forever like it’s just a word we say Yeah, we almost started somethin’ But the clock got in the way Guess we’ll never know what it could’ve been If it was a different day [Verse 2] We kissed in the parking lot by my friend’s old truck Said “this feels right,” but we called it bad luck You wrote your number on my hand, said “don’t you dare call” Then smiled like you meant, “please call me after it all” [Chorus] In another town, on another night You’d be ridin’ shotgun, runnin’ every red light We’d be talkin’ ‘bout forever like it’s just a word we say Yeah, we almost started somethin’ But the clock got in the way Guess we’ll never know what it could’ve been If it was a different day [Bridge] Maybe in ten years I’ll see your face Pushin’ that cart in the grocery place We’ll laugh and say “man, we were just kids” Stand there wonderin’ what we missed [Chorus] In another town, on another night You’d be wearin’ my jacket, holdin’ on tight We’d be talkin’ ‘bout forever like it’s just a word we say Yeah, we almost started somethin’ But the clock got in the way Guess we’ll never know what it could’ve been If it was a different day [Bridge] Now you are married, and I am out trying to find what we could have had. Facebook calls, wishing that the time wouldn’t be right, I guess it is just life, and you will always be the one that got away [Outro] In another town, on another night You’d be wearin’ my jacket, holdin’ on tight We’d be talkin’ ‘bout forever like it’s just a word we say Yeah, we almost started somethin’ But the clock got in the way Guess we’ll never know what it could’ve been If it was a different day
