Lyrics:

I met a man going to Omaha
He told me some stories ‘bout his son in law
He spoke just like your parents in a western drawl
If you could even call it that

I told him how we hit the Iowa State fair
I felt a little like an alien out there
It’s crazy how much he resembled ya
Guess that’s the comfort of middle America

And I know you’re away
And out achieving something
Found your own saving grace
And she’s cute as a button
And I’m still a basket case
But that’s the life that I picked
You’re not the one that got away
You’re just the only “What if?”

He gave a smile as he waved goodbye
I’ve seen that same expression ‘bout a million times
“God speed”, he said to me with understanding eyes
I never got to know his name

I watched him as he turned to walk away
I thought about you all the way to baggage claim
You can’t ask fire to stick around in pouring rain
Guess that’s either a blessing or an awful shame

And I know you’re away
And out achieving something
Found your own saving grace
And she’s cute as a button
And I’m still a basket case
But that’s the life that I picked
You’re not the one that got away
You’re just the only “What if?”

Baby, it was alright for just a little bit
Romeo spinnin’ lies to handle Juliet
You had a blueprint for life
I had a bucket list
And i didn’t fit
So, I just made the best of it

And I know you’re away
And out achieving something
Found your own saving grace
And she’s cute as a button
Aren’t you glad I gave my place to someone worthy of it
You’re not the one that got away
You’re just the only “What if?”
