Shoulda_Woulda_Couda_Aint_Life

A Poem by Heidi Franklin
"

Country song lyrics about living life as it comes at you-living without regrets and second guessing.

"

Verse 1

Woke up this morning a fog inside my head,

My brain was turning, thinkin how I got in this bed

The last thing I remember was that double shot of whiskey

Next thing I knew, things were getting a little frisky

 

I shoulda stayed home, woulda drank less

Coulda not failed that midterm test

But I never woulda met you, had the night of my life

Coulda missed a chemistry that felt so right

 

Chorus
Livin’ with regrets ain’t easy so we should just let ‘em go

Cuz at the time, there just really ain’t no way to know

Which choice is wrong and which choice is right *pause*

Shoulda woulda coulda ain’t life

 

Verse 2

First day on the job, no idea what to do

Did I choose the right offer, Hell, I don’t have clue

It ain’t  too exciting but I can afford to eat

Is it okay to settle just to make ends meet

 

I shoulda held out for the job of my dreams

Woulda been happier it would seem

But that job coulda never came around

And I woulda never met y’all and I’d be the broke one in town

 

Chorus
Livin’ with regrets ain’t easy so we should just let ‘em go

Cuz at the time, there just really ain’t no way to know

Which choice is wrong and which choice is right *pause*

Shoulda woulda coulda ain’t life

 

Shoulda been more careful, woulda liked more time to plan

But then we wouldn’t have this cutie-our sweet little man

First we coulda got married, woulda had all our finances in line

But sometimes you can’t wait on stars that ain’t never gonna align

 

Bridge

Shoulda said yes when I said no

Coulda stopped when I wanted to go

Woulda picked you instead of him although

If I didn’t I wouldn’t be who I am-and that just wouldn’t be right

Sometime you just gotta live it cuz *pause* 
Shoulda Woulda Coulda ain’t life.
