And Then There's Me Lyrics

My best friend has settled down

A wife and a family

Mortgage, three car garage

Living on the fifteenth green

He's traded in the late nights and schedule flexibility

But the reward is worth the sacrifice-generations and legacy

Another friend had his heart broken

Two kids and monthly alimony

The little ones sure do keep him busy

He's got no time for being lonely

We all see each other when we can

But it's never the same as it used to be

For years and years they've all moved forward

And then there's me

And then there's me

My sisters in the same place on Sunday's

So steady in her faith and her belief

Standing beside her husband with hands raised

I know she hopes I find that same peace

She's towed that line, the straight and narrow

Followed the path that we were raised to see

She knows where she's going when she's gone

And then there's me

And then there's me

But this ain't no pity party, oh no

Most of the time I'm content and happy

This life I chose ain't the one I thought I wanted

But it's the life I've made

No use in living haunted

So many folks just stop loving

They seem to give up somewhere along the way

Their hearts grow cold and they stop feeling

And then there's me

And then there's me
