Tammy Cochran - Life Happend lyrics

From the time she was thirteen
Julie Thompson had a dream
That someday she´d see her name in lights
And after every high school play
The grown-ups all would say
That Julie´s future sure was looking bright

Well I saw her selling videos
At a store in Eastland Mall
I said why aren´t you in Hollywood
Taking casting calls
And she handed me my change
And started laughing

And said...Life Happened
Me & Bobby Chapman fell in love
Daddy passed away & the babies came
And drama school was just too much
Now theres little league & mouths to feed
And I direct the kindergarten Christmas pageant
Life happened

Curtis had an old Chevelle
The cops knew that car well
He never lost a race on Windy Hollow road
By the time he turned eighteen
He was a georgia dirt track king
Proudly sponsored by the local Texaco
I bumped into him at Murphy´s bar
And he ordered us a round
I said why aren´t you in Rockingham
Chasing Gordon down
He killed his drink
And tore the corners off his napkin

And said...Life happened
I was driving home from Athens
Late one night
A trucker fell asleep & swapped pain´t with me
Said I rolled that Velle at least five times
Now I thank my stars & I sell used cars
And I teach drivers education at St. Catherine´s
Yea life happened

I saw the rest of my old friends
At our reunion at the Holiday Inn
And it seemed like it was only yesterday
Standing in the gym in our cap & gown
Full of wonderlust & glory bound
We set out to chase our dreams on wings of passion
But somewhere along the way we got distracted
Life happened
Our clothes went out of fashion with our songs
We started families & bought SUV´s
Became step dads & soccer moms
I finally realized we turned out alright
And we spent the night just catching up & dancing
And life happened
