Meant to Be Lyrics

My three ex-wives were real nice ladies

But something about marriage just drove me crazy

I don't know what it was, but it wasn't meant to be

Well my first ex-wife was a Memphis gal

And we got together in Austin town

It was the summer of love when we got married

And although we had a real nice family

Them pastel colors didn't agree with me

I don't know what it was, but it wasn't meant to be

I wanted to stay, but it wasn't meant to be

And then my second ex-wife was a Cajun cutie

Lord have mercy another southern beauty

I had good taste in women it seems

And although she gave it a real good try

There was something about the Brady Bunch life that

I don't know what it was, but it wasn't meant to be

We wanted it to, but it wasn't meant to be

Then my third ex-wife was the scholarly type

A fine young woman just my style

I had found the one finally

But all honeymoons must come to an end and so did this one my friends

I don't know what it was, but it wasn't meant to be

Well we tried to work it out, but it wasn't meant to be

You know my three ex-wives were real nice ladies

But something about marriage just drove me crazy

I don't know what it was, but it wasn't meant to be

Well my next ex-wife I ain't yet met her

And as the saying goes never say never

But never may come too soon, I'm beginning to think

Because I am what I am, it's how I'll always be

And if the shoe don't fit then mama cest la vie

I said baby, it wasn't meant to be

Well honey I'm sorry, it wasn't meant to be

Darling don't you cry, it wasn't meant to be
