I wrote this song about some ex-girlfriends and various other people of importance, and it's only about 50% true.. Enjoy
VERSE 1
Sarah was a girl
who I knew in second grade
with those big blue eyes
that make a boy lose track of time and space
We played tag and hide and seek
she put her lips up to my cheek
and I knew then and there
I knew she was made for me
But the years went by
and time and tides
and fortune had their way
then in an airport in Japan
I thought I heard her call my name
The next morning when we woke up
in each others' arms...
CHORUS
I said it's funny how life takes you
where the hell it wants to go
ya know, it's funny how love takes you
where it will
VERSE 2
Kimmie was the next girl
who I thought would be the last
But during high school change can happen
over night or between class
She went Left but I was Right
so I took her home
and said "Good night"
then cried the whole way
back to my place like a child
I think about her now and then
and wonder where she's at
But between her and Grace
and Amanda's place my memory starts to lapse
maybe one day I'll be old
and cold enough to look her up
and I'll say...
CHORUS
Ain't it funny how life takes you
where the hell it wants to go
ya know, it's funny how love takes you
where it will
BRIDGE
I don't know where they all are now
Im not sure where I am myself
But I'll follow the road I'm on
'Cause I don't know nothing else
VERSE 3
Jessi is a girl
who I've known most of my days
born as wild and free as me
but with an angels eyes and face
She moved West to find herself
but wound up finding someone else
You know Idaho ain't for the faint of heart
I thought that she was gone
until one day I got a call
She'd seen my face on Rolling Stone
and said she had some things to talk about
We sat and reminisced
until the sun came up
CHORUS
She said it's funny how life takes you
where the hell it wants to go
ya know, it's funny how love takes you
where it will
I said it's funny how life takes you
where the hell it wants to go
ya know, it's funny how love takes you
where it will
Yea it's funny how love takes you
where it will
