The Statler Brothers - Second Thoughts lyrics

It was in the high school yearbook dated may of '55

We were voted the couple most likely to survive

Even teachers never doubted we were more than just friends

But your mama had some second thoughts back then

When you went off to nursing school I kept my job in town

To show your folks that I was old enough to settle down

When you came home for holidays we were happy without sin

But your mama had some second thoughts again

Does your mama know I'm rich and happy well almost that is

Has she ever said that maybe she was wrong

All she ever really wanted was to have the best in you

And that's all I ever really wanted too.

Thanks to her she made me want to prove I could succeed

But thanks to her I'll never have the one thing that I need

And If she reads the papers and remembers who I am

She's probably having seconds again

Does your mama know I'm rich and happy well almost that is

Has she ever said that maybe she was wrong

All she ever really wanted was to have the best in you

And that's all I ever really wanted too.

That's all I ever really wanted too.
