0:14

Couldn't wait to ride out of that one horse town

0:17

Didn't see no use in sticking around

0:20

I was green and busting at the seams to leave

0:26

I was sitting on G, waiting on O

0:29

The day I hit eighteen, I hit the road

0:32

Traded that county maintain for a four lane city street

0:38

But sometimes things ain't what you think they're gonna be

0:45

What you want ain't always what you need

0:50

Don't know what you got 'til it's gone and you're out on your own

0:53

All you want is what you can't get back

0:56

Once you let it go, then you know what you have

0:58

Don't hold a candle to what you had

1:03

Sometimes what you think you'll find

1:06

It ain't quite what real life has in store

1:10

So be careful what you wish for

1:17

She was holding on just a little too tight

1:20

Talked a little too much about the rest of our lives

1:24

I broke her heart thinking freedom would set me free

1:29

Well, sometimes things ain't what you think they're gonna be

1:35

Don't know what you got 'til it's gone and you're out on your own

1:39

All you want is what you can't get back

1:41

Once you let it go, then you know what you have

1:44

Don't hold a candle to what you had

1:48

Sometimes what you think you'll find

1:51

It ain't quite what real life has in store

1:55

So be careful what you wish for

1:59

'Cause these city lights can't shine quite like the stars

2:05

I wish I could wish her back into my arms

2:11

Don't know what you got 'til it's gone and you're out on your own

2:15

All you want is what you can't get back

2:17

Once you let it go, then you know what you have

2:20

Don't hold a candle to what you had

2:24

Sometimes what you think you'll find

2:27

It ain't quite what real life has in store

2:31

And you can't get her back no more

2:34

So be careful what you wish for

2:40

Be careful what you wish for
