It's been a few years since I've been home
A couple hours out should I call your phone
I wonder if you're still waiting tables
At a place I used to know
Last time I heard your voice you said boy go on
Take that guitar to Nashville and play them songs
I heard a screen door slam and made a ten hour drive alone
What if I'da held on a little longer
What if I'da been just a little stronger
Maybe I wouldn't be here
Wishing you were in my arms
What if I'da known just what to say
Maybe you would still be here today
What if the what ifs
Were more than a song about a broken heart
What if the what ifs
What if the what ifs
Were a brand new start
First stop 9 o'clock rolled into town
Dive bar, PBR a good look around
Saw that old 4x4 parked out front
That you used to drive
Two drinks in no it didn't take long
Brand new jukebox same old sone
Somehow I feel like I'm
Right where I belong
What if I'da held on a little longer
What if I'da been just a little stronger
Maybe I wouldn't be here
Wishing you were in my arms
What if I'da known just what to say
Maybe you would still be here today
What if the what ifs
Were more than a song about a broken heart
What if the what ifs
Ah, what if the what ifs
Were a brand new start
Ah, a brand new start
What if I'da held on a little longer
What if I'da been just a little stronger
Maybe I wouldn't be here
Wishing you were in my arms
What if I'da known just what to say
Maybe you would still be here today
What if the what ifs
Were more than a song about a broken heart
What if the what ifs
Ah, what if the what ifs
What if the what ifs
Were a brand new start
A brand new start
