Shoulda Coulda

(album: Same Ol Same Ol - 2021)

Shoulda picked you up, plenty summers I didn't
You'd of been the best playlist picker on a jet ski
Riding waves of the songs you chose
Just like some Waylon Jennings in every couple of views
I shoulda called your phone many nights before
You woulda looked good wearing seats of my Ford
Loving on you to the sound of something long before
Shoulda, woulda, coulda and that's just how it goes

Should chased you down
Woulda if I'd known
Coulda been your man
While we're still young
Shoulda fired it up
Woulda burnt the tires gone
Coulda made us one of those timeless love songs
Shoulda, woulda, coulda

Shoulda drove across the tracks to your side of town
Woulda pulled in the drive, reved it up loud so when you look out that window
You could see in the cab only my silhouette
With the memory of you on repeat in my head
So I wrote it all down to try and forget
Them mistakes I made turn to backroad jams

Should chased you down
Woulda if I'd known
Coulda been your man
While we're still young
Shoulda fired it up
Woulda burnt the tires gone
Coulda made us one of those timeless love songs

Should tell you right now it would change a whole lot
Could've been a better guy but I wasn't old enough
Shoulda been what I was, woulda been different now
Coulda had you back then but I got you right now

'Cause I chased you down, for years I had known
I wanna be your man before we get too old
Let's fire it up, burn the tires to the ground
All make fun of those timeless love songs
I'll write it in the kitchen while you're sleeping and it'll be called
Shoulda, woulda, coulda
Shoulda, woulda, coulda that song, oh
