[Verse 1]
Was a May full Dmoon we parked the Acar
and GI sang you a song I wrote on Dmy guitar
oh, I have Dkissed many times since Athen
but Gthat first one is special, one you Ddon't forget
if EmI had asked you then you'd probably Atook my ring
but tEmime and distance have a way of Achanging Dthings
[Chorus]
and sometimes I Awonder what it would Dhappen like
if we had Awandered the same Dpath in life
tonight if you're Aout there looking Dup at Athe same Gmoon
girl, I hoDpe that your trail in lAife has been good to yDouA  G  
[Verse 2]
college Ddays, frat house Anights
you were Gmore than just a bunch of rowdy Dfriends of mine
you made leaving Dhome not as hard to Abear
yeah we Gswore we would stick together 'til we were in Drocking chairs
we Emall kinda scattered getting our Alives in gear
phone Emcalls went from weeks to months to AI ain't heard in Dyears
[Chorus]
and sometimes I Awonder what it would Dhappen like
if we had Awandered the same Dpath in life
we'd still Asmoke cigars when the Dwild cats Abeat O GU
and friends I Dhope that your trail in Alife has been good to DyouA  G  
[Verse 3]
The day I was Dborn, they said you Acried
when Gyou signed those papers and kissed Dme goodbye
too young to Dknow how to raise me Aup,
so yGou let me go and start this world in a Dhouse of love
I Emwas 12 years old when daddy Asat me down
and tEmold me of a brave girl that AI should know abDout
[Chorus]
and sometimes I Awonder what it would Dhappen like
if we had Awandered the same Dpath in life
I think I'd Amake you proud of the Dboy you Anever Gknew
and god I Dhope that your trail in Alife has been good to DyouA  G  
and someday I Dknow this old trail in Alife will wind back to Dyou
