The statler brothers second thoughts lyrics

It was in the high school yearbook dated may of '55



We were voted the couple most likely to survive



Even teachers never doubted we were more than just friends



But your mama had some second thoughts back then







When you went off to nursing school I kept my job in town



To show your folks that I was old enough to settle down



When you came home for holidays we were happy without sin



But your mama had some second thoughts again







Does your mama know I'm rich and happy well almost that is



Has she ever said that maybe she was wrong



All she ever really wanted was to have the best in you 



And that’s all I ever really wanted too.







Thanks to her she made me want to prove I could succeed 



But thanks to her I'll never have the one thing that I need



And If she reads the papers and remembers who I am



She's probably having seconds again







Does your mama know I'm rich and happy well almost that is



Has she ever said that maybe she was wrong



All she ever really wanted was to have the best in you 



And that’s all I ever really wanted too.



That’s all I ever really wanted too.
