We Had Our Lives All Planned

We Had Our Lives All Planned
Words and Music by Billy White, Jr.

Verse 1
We had our lives all planned, we would go hand in hand through the world 'til the end of our days
We had the house picked out, wedding planned no doubt would be the best in so many ways
But then the plans all changed, everything rearranged by a man I never met before
He took my world away in a flash one day and every hour I miss her even more

Verse 2
She was my one true love, I’m still dreaming of all the times I held her close to me
Just to feel her touch, I long for just that much but I know it’s never gonna be
‘Cause she went out to see about a gift for me but the man didn’t let her make it home
Because he left that bar and got in his car, now my whole world is gone

Bridge
Isn’t it strange how minutes can change the course of your life?
One day you’re engaged to her, the next she’ll never be your wife

Verse 3
Now we’re both serving time, my prison’s in my mind, his has bars of iron and steel
As we both pay the price, ‘cause he didn’t think twice when he climbed behind the wheel
They say forgive the man, I don’t know if I can or the judge who had let him go free
He’d been caught twice before, but they let him out the door and then he took my world away from me
