Lyrics
Where is that girl I used to know
Who wanted us to go to Nashville
Wrote me some letters
So many years ago
Back then just out of school
Everything was new and exciting
Had a band and a job so I didn't go
Sometimes a heart can be achin
For the roads not taken
The world's a sad version of happy
I'm taking care of all the little things
Try to do my job go to the gym
Working out these songs in my mind
Searching for a metaphor
To open up a door be enlightened
Meditating on the nature of time
And how the universe and every living thing
Must pass away eventually
And it's a sad version of happy
A sad version of happy
Never had kids but baby if we did
We'd take 'em on a trip to Nashville
See Music Row
Take in a show or two
Be together as a family
Help the kids to see all the beauty
Help 'em deal with the darker things too
They'd be so funny and so cool
They'd be smart and beautiful like you
And it's a sad version of happy
A sad version of happy
The world's a sad version of happy
Just a sad version of happy
And that's all right
