Intro
Verse 1
Couldn't
wait to ride out of that
one horse town
Didn't
see no use
in sticking around
I was
green and busting
at the seams to
leave
I was
sitting on G,
waiting on O
The day I
hit eighteen,
I hit the road
Traded that
county maintain for a
four lane city
street
Pre-Chorus
But sometimes
things ain't what you
think they're gonna
be
What you want ain't
always what you
need
Chorus
Don't know what you
got 'til it's gone
And you're
out on your own
All you
want is what you can't
get back
Once you let it
go, then you know
what you have
Don't hold a
candle to what
you had
Sometimes what you
think you'll find
It ain't quite what
real life has in
store
So be careful what you wish for
Verse 2
She was
holding on
just a little too tight
Talked a
little too much
about the rest of our lives
I
broke her heart
thinking freedom would set
me free
Well sometimes
things ain't what you
think they're gonna
be
Chorus
Don't know what you
got 'til it's gone
And you're
out on your own
All you
want is what you can't
get back
Once you let it
go, then you know
what you have
Don't hold a
candle to what
you had
Sometimes what you
think you'll find
It ain't quite what
real life has in
store
So be careful what you wish for
Bridge
'Cause these
city lights can't shine quite like the
stars
I wish
I could wish her back into
my arms
Chorus
Don't know what you
got 'til it's gone
And you're
out on your own
All you
want is what you can't
get back
Once you let it
go, then you know
what you have
Don't hold a
candle to what
you had
Sometimes what you
think you'll find
It ain't quite what
real life has in
store
And you can't get her back no
more
So be careful what you wish for
Be careful what
you wish
for
