Eric Burgett - Happy Ending Lyrics

We used to split a 12-pack by the river
On a blanket talkin' 'bout forever
Our own kinda heaven, right here on earth

5 years later dancin' in our kitchen
House full of love, walls full of pictures
And good mornin' kisses makin' me late for work

But I took it all for granted
Lord, help me understand it
Cause this sure ain't the way I thought I'd see

My happy ending
Coming to a close like
Her slamming that door on our memory
No one to blame but me
What was I thinking
Now the good years spinning in my mind
Are different than the ones rolling in the distance
Taking my whole world with 'em, I guess this is
My happy ending

Her mama said I was trouble in a small town
Tried to prove her wrong, but it turns out
I know my way around how to break a heart
Yeah that was the start of

My happy ending
Coming to a close like
Her slamming that door on our memory
No one to blame but me
What was I thinking
Now the good years spinning in my mind
Are different than the ones rolling in the distance
Taking my whole world with 'em, I guess this is
My happy ending

I took her for granted
No, this ain't how I planned it
Lord, this ain't what I meant
When I prayed she... would be

My happy ending
Coming to a close like
Her slamming that door on our memory
No one to blame but me
What was I thinking
Now the good years spinning in my mind
Are different than the ones rolling in the distance
Taking my whole world with 'em, I guess this is
I guess this is
My happy ending
My happy ending
