[00:06.73]From the time she was thirteen
[00:09.38]Julie Thompson had a dream
[00:13.06]That someday she would see her name in lights
[00:20.56]And after every high school play
[00:24.11]The grown-ups all would say
[00:27.04]That Julie's future sure was looking bright
[00:33.62]Well I saw her selling videos
[00:37.28]At a store in Eastland Mall
[00:40.81]I said why aren't you in Hollywood
[00:44.35]Taking casting calls
[00:47.58]And she handed me my change
[00:50.43]And started laughing
[00:53.89]And said... Life Happened
[00:58.25]Me and Bobby Chaplain fell in love
[01:04.66]Daddy passed away and the babies came
[01:08.71]And drama school was just too much
[01:14.18]Now there's little league and mouths to feed
[01:21.78]And I directed the kindergarden christmas pageant
[01:28.49]Life happened
[01:32.41]🎵
[01:35.81]Curtis had an old Chevelle
[01:39.10]The cops knew that car well
[01:42.72]He never lost a race on Windy Hollow road
[01:49.39]By the time he turned eighteen
[01:52.86]He was a georgia dirt track king
[01:56.42]Proudly sponsored by the local Texaco
[02:03.03]I bumped into him at Murphy's bar
[02:06.95]And he ordered us a round
[02:09.91]I said why aren't you in Rockingham
[02:13.71]Chasing Gordon down
[02:16.64]He killed his drink
[02:19.00]And tore the corners off his napkin
[02:23.24]And said... Life happened
[02:27.23]I was driving home from Athens
[02:30.27]Late one night
[02:33.92]A trucker fell asleep and swapped paint with me
[02:37.53]Said I rolled that 'velle at least five times
[02:42.92]Now I thank my stars and I sell used cars
[02:51.03]And I teach drivers education at St. Catherine's
[02:57.51]Yeah life happened
[03:01.64]I saw the rest of my old friends
[03:04.78]At our reunion at the Holiday Inn
[03:08.80]And it seemed like it was only yesterday
[03:15.08]Standing in the gym in our cap and gown
[03:18.78]Full of wonderlust and glory bound
[03:22.45]We set out to chase our dreams on wings of passion
[03:29.14]But somewhere along the way we got distracted
[03:36.09]Life happened
[03:41.14]Our clothes went out of fashion with our songs
[03:47.01]We started families and bought SUV's
[03:51.49]Became step dads and soccer moms
[03:57.05]I finally realized we turned alright
[04:05.92]And we spent the night just catching up and dancing
[04:13.02]And life happened
[04:15.54]🎵
