You like rockin', I like mine
Our brothers were older, was another time
You got drums, I got a guitar
And we made up a band, who knew we'd go far?
I met a girl who gave me her heart
I gave her back mine till the day we part
We shared the same bus to the school they taught art
Teenage kicks, shoot for the stars
We played some clubs, people saw me sing
They asked if we'd record with them
Wе said, why, sure, so we drove to thе smoke
I'd never been that far away from home
We made a few records, top of the charts
Flew around the world, became big stars
Climbed up the ladder, broke some hearts
Drank a million beers in a thousand bars
I met another girl, had a couple of kids
It didn't work out, but what a gift
I met my soul, became my wife
My lover, my rock, we're in it for life
Life's got a way of making things pay
No matter how hard we try to refrain
Fate or love or chance we deal
Or that beautiful word's serendipity, oh, yeah
Where would I be now if I hadn't met you?
Right place, right time, oh, yeah, yeah
Where would I be now if I hadn't met you?
Right place, right time, yeah
I met my uncle at the boxing ring
It wasn't punching people, it was discipline
They lied, I was older, all the fights I'd win
Stays with me today, even when I sing
Then I met temptation or did it rape me?
It took me for a ride till I couldn't see
Like a candy shop with all you can eat
No money back and no guarantees
I met the disease of the mind and the fears
And all the time it robbed from me
I tried to integrate the child and the man
Just before it slips through my hands
My love, my children, everything changed
Weight of the world, ball and a chain
Like a boat in a storm without a sail
Navigating life and love and grace
I met this world in the corridor
In front of many people, I was born to perform
Reconcile the passion and the rage
I made it this far, keep turning the page, oh, yeah
Where would I be now if I hadn't met you?
Right place, right time, oh, yeah, yeah
Where would I be now if I hadn't met you?
Right place, right time, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, where would I be now if I hadn't met you?
Right place, right time, oh, yeah, yeah
Where would I be now if I hadn't met you?
Right place, right time, yeah
