Everything’s Got a Purpose

V1
It was just a ring
Until I slid it on her finger
They were just words
In nervous hands on a paper
Until I said ‘em out loud without one doubt
And they became a promise I’d keep forever

It was just a town in Texas
It was just a school where my dad was a teacher
Just a country store, with an old screen door
Just an orange crush, some bubble gum
Just a church around the corner
Til a boy, met a girl
That turned it all into his world
Aww, nothing’s just a just
Everything’s got a purpose

It was just a ranch
Heck, I didn’t understand it
I was just a kid
Out there sweatin like the dickens
But pushin’ that tiller, only stoppin’ for dinner
Would prove to be some of my best lessons

Aww, nothing’s just a just
Everything’s got a purpose

It was more than just a song
Unwound, they called it
I'm just a guy they took a chance on
And wow, am I thankful for it

It was just a town in Texas
It was just a school where my dad was a teacher
Just a country store, with an old screen door
Just an orange crush, some bubble gum
Just a church around the corner
Til a boy asked a girl
To walk with him thru this world
And she just said YES
Awww, nothing’s just a just
Everything’s got a purpose

Yeah it does!
