[Verse 1: Parker Diffie]
Mmm
He said, "When I was ten, I was gonna be a cowboy
Wear that star and be a hero
And fill Roger Staubach’s shoes
I went on to be the pride of Stevens County
And I still hold all the records at Jefferson High School
Got a full paid ride with the Vols at Tennessee"
He said, "I had plans for life
But life had plans for me"
[Chorus: HARDY]
Sometimes, you want it bad
Oh, but that ain’t good enough
When something more important comes along
And you’re forced to give up
What you’ve been workin’ toward
Waitin’ for, chasin’, slavin’, cravin’, and prayin’ for
The chance to live your dreams
He said "I had plans for life
Oh, but life had plans for me"
[Verse 2: Parker Diffie]
He said, "I had too much before I moved to Knoxville
I spent those summer nights with Jenny
And we both couldn’t wait
Got there, met the coach, and got my number
And barely settled in, got a call from Jenny cryin’
She was three weeks late
I didn’t want to be a dad at just nineteen"
He said, "I had plans for life
But life had plans for me"
[Chorus: HARDY]
Sometimes, you want it bad
Oh but that ain’t good enough
When something more important comes along
And you’re forced to give up
What you’ve been workin’ toward
Waitin’ for, chasin’, slavin’, cravin’, and prayin’ for
The chance to live your dreams
He said, "I had plans for life
Oh, but life had plans for me"
[Verse 3: Parker Diffie and HARDY]
And he said, "Now I got my Jenny
Bills to pay and mouths to feed
Oh, and my life turned out better
Than I ever thought it would be
Yeah, I had plans for life
But life had plans for me"
[Post Chorus: Parker Diffie]
He said "When I was ten, I was gonna be a Cowboy"
