lyrics

DESTINY (Smegal)

Well I got me a letter just the other day
From a girl I know down Florida way
She stole my heart when she stole away
I couldn’t believe what she had to say
She said, “I’m sorry that I took so long to write
I’m settled in now and doin’ just fine
Times have been tough and money’s been tight
But it ain’t worth havin’ if it ain’t worth a fight”

And I think about you more than I should
And that short time we had was mighty good
What could have been between you and me
And the front of her car said “destiny”
I guess I’ll have to wait and see

As long as I’ve known her she had a man
And I had a girl, it was her best friend
We both felt somethin’ we just couldn’t fight
So before she left we had just one night
Well her pretty little smile and her short brown hair
Into her pretty brown eyes I couldn’t help but stare
That little tramp stamp on the small of her back
She fucked me so damned hard it nearly gave me a heart attack

And I think about you more than I should
And that short time we had was mighty good
What could have been between you and me
And the front of her car said “destiny”
I guess I’ll have to wait and see

Well I got up and wrote me a song today
For a girl I know down Florida way
She stole my heart when she stole away
I hope she likes what I had to say
