Life Goes as Planned Lyrics by Compton McMurry

East

2020

Home is behind, and the world ahead
But I’m still hung up on what you said…
That June afternoon, hot and sticky-sweet
With a wish, a laugh, a kiss, a ring
Why did I expect it all to be just so?
Oh, I should have known
How could I think you’d drop it all to take my hand?
Little goes as planned
Seven years is a long, long time
It’s been seven years since I tried to make her mine
Been booking shows, trying to make a tour of the world
But songs won’t win a crowd like words won’t win a girl
Why did I expect it all to be just so?
Oh, I should have known
I thought for sure they’d follow for a five-piece band
Little goes as planned
Something I’ve learned all these years on the road:
It’ll take you wherever it wants to go –
A river of asphalt, a current of stone
And it won’t bend to where you had in mind to flow
Why did I expect it all to be just so?
Oh, I should have known
Time makes the one who dams the course a lonely man
Little goes as planned
