Life Happened

Original Lyrics (in gray) by Patrick Jason Matthews and Kerry Kurt Phillips
New Lyrics (in black) by Mike & Mike

From the time she was thirteen
Thirteen
Listen to that bass
I bet he's gonna slap soon
in lights
Julie Thompson had a dream
That someday she would see her name in lights
And after every high school play
High school plays with Molè
The grown-ups all would say
That Julie's future sure was looking bright
Bright

Well I saw her selling videos
At a store in Eastland Mall
I said why aren't you in Hollywood
Taking casting calls
And she handed me my change
And started laughing

And said...Life Happened
Me and Bobby Chaplain fell in love
Me and my best friend
Me and my best friend
Me and my best friend
Daddy passed away and the babies came
And drama school was just too much
Now there's little league and mouths to feed
And I directed the kindergarten christmas pageant
In your garden
Life happened
LIFE HAPPENS, LIFE HAPPENS
The high school dance
Hollow Road

Curtis had an old Chevelle
The cops knew that car well
He never lost a race on Windy Hollow road
By the time he turned eighteen
Eighteen
~~He was a georgia dirt track king~~
Proudly sponsored by the local Texaco
Texaco, Texaco, Exxon and Shell
I bumped into him at Murphy's bar
And he ordered us a round
I said why aren't you in Rockingham
Chasing Gordon down
He killed his drink
'cause dream yeah.
Life happened to me and Mike Tichy
Life happened yeah, God that bass player's fuckin' good.
And tore the corners off his napkin

And said...Life happened
I was driving home from Athens
Late one night
A trucker fell asleep and swamped paint with me
Take it away Kelly
~~Said I rolled that bed~~ at least five times
Slap it.
Slap your dick.
Slap your balls in the face.
Slap your balls with my bass.
~~Now I thank my stars and I sell used cars~~
And I teach drivers education at St. Catherine's
Yeah life happened
Driver's education
Texaco / Life Happens at Texaco.
Here's the bridge

I saw the rest of my old friends
The last of my old friends.
~~At our reunion at the Holiday Inn~~
I don't remember this part
And it seemed like it was only yesterday
Seemed liked it was only yesterday (yesterday yesterday)
He made the chord a dominant chord
I can make it sound real good
Like it should
Standing in the gym in our cap and gown
Full of wonderlust and glory bound
We set out to chase our dreams on wings of passion
But somewhere along the way we got distracted
What happened Kelly? She's dyslexic?
Life happened
Our clothes went out of fashion with our songs
We took our clothes off
We took our clothes off for all of our uncles (SUV's) and our aunts (Texaco)
Don't forget about the Hess Mart on Route 46
Don't forget about the Hess Mart (Hess Mart)
The Hess Mart on Route 46 is open 24 hours a day
and grabbing each other's balls
life happens
We started families and bought SUV's
Became step dads and soccer moms
I finally realized we turned alright
And we spent the night just catching up and dancing
And life happened
