Stretchin' out his uniform
Was a tall southpaw with a golden arm
He's gonna live his life
He tore his elbow clean that day
And all the scouts forgot his name
He's gonna live his life
Whoah, he's gonna live his life
Dreamin' of her honeymoon
She'd look for love in the afternoon
She's gonna live her life
Drank it down and paid the price
She trampled hard and she rolled the dice
She's gonna live her life
Whoah, She's gonna live her life
He took a job in Tupelo
Washed his sins two years ago
He's gonna live his life
Tornado alley cut her free
And she found God with the Cherokee
She's gonna live her life
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Dried up dreams and broken wings
They grew old so separately
