Not The Life We Planned, But Ours

We thought we'd have a big white house

Two trucks, one dog, some kids by now

But the rent's past due, there’s dishes piled

And a busted porch light flickers out

You burn the toast, I spill the wine

Laugh it off, say "we got time"

We’re rich in all the things

You don't find in any plan

It's not the life we planned, but it's ours

Hand-me-down jeans and secondhand cars

Friday night dinners on a blanket on the floor

Dancing in the doorway when I lock the bedroom door (oh)

May not be fancy, may be kinda scarred

It's not the life we planned, but it's ours

Your ring is just a simple band

Paid in tips and overtime

But you spin it when you're talking

Like it's some rare, shining find

We missed the trip to Mexico

Had a flat, turned back for home

A thunderstorm, a leaky roof

Played cards by flashlight on the floor

It's not the life we planned, but it's ours

Coffee in a jar, wishes in a jar

Sunday drive detours down a nowhere country road

Singing off-key verses to the songs we barely know (yeah)

May not be perfect, but it's in our stars

It's not the life we planned, but it's ours

Would I trade these crooked days

For some straight and shiny line?

Every wrong turn that we made

Led me to your hand in mine

It's not the life we planned, but it's ours

We miss some flights, but we catch the stars

Holding you closer when the bad news hits too hard

Laughing in the kitchen with the bills stacked on the bar (oh)

May not be easy, but it's all heart

It's not the life we planned

Not the life we planned

But it's ours
