and you were hanging out nights with your friends at the bar.
You didn t know it then but you were right where you needed to be.

I was waking up to the sound of the raindrops
while you while you were in the southeast sleepin in truck stops.

and I was prayin to God that your band would succeed.
I didn t? know it then but you were right where you needed to be.
