Start Over

Came down from that jump shot and I heard my ankle crack That college scholarship went out the window just like that Out the window just like that Spent six weeks on crutches cussing up at the sky Writing songs on grandpa's old guitar, every one starting with why I didn't know it at the time That was God asking me to start over Showing me the angel on my shoulder Saying son, you might not understand but the man upstairs has a better plan Sometimes you gotta lose it all to gain everything When the dream you had comes to an end, you're new future can begin when God Is asking you to start over I started up a band best friend played lead guitar Burning up that southwest circuit Running wild and living hard closing down the honky tonks and bars I was loving my new high life till the night I got the call Beau drove straight through that curve drug mixed with alcohol That's the night i hit my wall Cause God was asking me to start over Showing me the angel on my shoulder Saying son, you might not understand but the man upstairs has a better plan Sometimes you gotta lose it all to gain everything Drop a pic in the casket of your best friend Could have been you instead of him that's God Asking you to start over These days when I come face to face with hard times in my life I look a little closer for the bigger reason why God is asking me to start over Showing me there's an angel on my shoulder Saying son, you might not understand but the man upstairs has a better plan Sometimes you gotta lose it all to gain everything Dream you had comes to an end, you're new future can begin that's God Asking you to start over Oh that's God asking you to start over
