Trail In Life

It was a May full moon

We parked the car

And I sang you a song I wrote on my guitar

Oh I have kissed

Many times since then

But that first one is special

One you don't forget

If I had asked you then you probably took my ring

But time and distance have a way

Of changing things

And sometimes I wonder

What it would have been like

If we had wandered

The same path in life

Tonight if you're out there

Looking up at the same moon

Girl I hope

That your trail in life

Has been good to you

College days

Frat house nights

You were more than just a bunch of rowdy friends of mine

You made leaving home

Not as hard to bare

Yeah we swore we'd stick together

Till we were in rocking chairs

But we all kind of scattered

Getting our lives in gear

The phone calls went from weeks to months

To I ain't heard in years

And sometimes I wonder

What it would have been like

If we had wandered

The same paths in life

Would we still smoke cigars?

Yeah when the wild cats beat OU

Oh friend I hope that your trail in life

Has been good to you

The day I was born

They said you cried

When you signed those papers

And kissed me good-bye

To young to know

How to raise me up

So you let me go and start this world in a house of love

I was 12 years old when daddy sat me down

And told me of a brave young girl

That I should know about

And sometimes I wonder

What it would have been like

If we had wondered

The same path in life

I think I would make you proud

Of the boy you never knew

God I hope

That your trail in life

Has been good to you

And some day I know

This old trail in life

Will wind back to you
