Struggling with This? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
Got a baby girl sleepin' in my bedroom And her momma laughing in my arms There's a sound of rain on the rooftop And the game's about to start I don't really know how I got here But I'm so glad that I did And it's crazy to think that one little thing Could have changed all of this Maybe it didn't turn out like I planned Maybe that's why I'm such, such a lucky man For every stoplight I didn't make Every chance I did or I didn't take All the nights I went too far All the girls that broke my heart All the doors that I had to close All the things I knew but I didn't know Thank God for all I missed 'Cause it led me here to this Like the girl that I loved in high school Who said she could do better Or the college I wanted to go to Till I got that letter All the fights and the tears and the heartache I thought I'd never get through And the moment I almost gave up All led me here to you I didn't understand it way back when But sittin' here right now It all makes perfect sense Every stoplight I didn't make Every chance I did or I didn't take All the nights I went too far All the girls that broke my heart All the doors that I had to close All the things I knew but I didn't know Thank God for all I missed 'Cause it led me here to this Oh I cried when my momma passed away And now I got an angel Looking out for me today So nothing's a mistake Every stoplight I didn't make Every chance I did or I didn't take All the nights I went too far All the girls that broke my heart All the doors that I had to close Everything I knew but I didn't know Thank God for all I missed 'Cause it led me here to this It led me here to this
