Just two kids growing up somewhere in Oklahoma
Never knowing what the world held beyond their town
He was the son of a dairy farmer
She the daughter of a lawman
Seventeen years under their belts,
they thought they knew it all
All they could see were the stars in each other’s eyes
He worked hard on his family’s farm.
She
was the princess
of her family
She never knew what it was like to struggle.
He struggled every day
to make the farm successful
In his eyes she could never do wrong
In her eyes she deserved the best
Every minute they spent together, dreaming of a future where they would never be apart
Then the excuses started
Of why she couldn’t meet him
Time and time again he wondered why
Standing in the feed store
He was looking out the window
She was there across the street
Holding someone else’s hand
He drove home in a cloud of dust
Tears falling on his flannel shirt
He ran inside and threw himself
Down on the couch
His Pop came to see what happened
and laid his hand on his boy’s shoulder
Reached his hand out
to wipe away his tears
Son, he said,
This was never meant for you
You deserve better than this
You don’t have to settle for less than something great
I know this town don’t offer much
So you need to look beyond
There’s millions more people out there
An the girl for you
Well, she’s out there too
Don’t ever settle for second best
In love, in life, in everything
We short ourselves as if we don’t deserve true happiness
Always remember you are no one’s second choice
Don’t ever settle for second best
In love, in life, in everything
This was never meant for you
You deserve better than this
You don’t have to settle for less than something great
Something great
