Verse 1
He was standin’ on a bridge
Just outside of town
Watchin’ that river roll
As the sun went down
He had a real good job
And a house on a hill
Gave his heart to a woman
Who’s love was never real
She found somebody new
Didn’t think twice
Left him standin’ there
With a shattered life
⸻
Verse 2
She was sittin’ on the porch
Of a little white house
Listenin’ to the wind
Blowin’ from the south
She swore she’d never
Live like her mama did
But she fell for a man
Who couldn’t love one bit
He ran off with another
Like it was nothin’ at all
Left her pickin’ up pieces
From a love that took the fall
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Sometimes what you want
Ain’t what you get
Sometimes forever
Turns into regret
⸻
Chorus
Life ain’t always easy
It don’t go as planned
You can hold on tight
And still lose what you had
But every now and then
When the time is right
Two wrong roads
Can end up side by side
Life ain’t always
What we expect
But it finds a way
To give you what’s next
⸻
Verse 3
He was leanin’ on the bar
In a quiet place
She sat down beside him
With the same worn face
They talked about leavin’
And love gone bad
Shared a little truth
‘Bout the best they never had
One small laugh
Turned into more
Two broken hearts
Walked out that door
⸻
Bridge
Now he don’t stand alone
On that river bend
And she don’t wait
On love to pretend
They found in each other
What they were missin’ then
⸻
Final Chorus (lift but keep it simple)
Life ain’t always easy
It’ll test your soul
But the right kind of love
Can make you whole
Every wrong turn
Every tear you cried
Might just be the road
That leads you home one night
Life ain’t always
What we expect
But sometimes it’s better
Than we could’ve guessed
