Good Thing Songtext
Ever since I was ten
It was me and my friends
Playing touch football in the driveway
Yeah we would pretend
It was ten seconds left
Super Bowl hail Mary on the last play
So when that coach said
"You want a scholarship?"
I couldn't help but cry
But after one year
It was me and my friends
Playing touch football in the driveway
Yeah we would pretend
It was ten seconds left
Super Bowl hail Mary on the last play
So when that coach said
"You want a scholarship?"
I couldn't help but cry
But after one year
And two surgeries
It wasn't meant to be
Turns out it was a good thing that it didn't work out
'Cause I wouldn't be where I am right now
It's a good thing God closed the door
He wanted to give me so much more
Than I ever wanted
Turns out that he was only getting started
Turning all my pain
And all my broken dreams
Into a good thing
We were high school flames
I planned on changing her name
Having kids and a house down in Denver
But along the way
[?] separate ways
And we just couldn't make it better
I asked God what I did to deserve this But little did I know he was helping me grow so I could find my person
It was a good thing that it didn't work out
'Cause I wouldn't be where I am right now
It's a good thing God closed the door
He wanted to give me so much more
Than I ever wanted
Turns out that he was only getting started
Turning all my pain
And all my broken dreams
Into a good thing
Oh into a good thing
I had to hang up my cleats
And she broke my heart
What I thought was the end
Was just the start
I never got that job
So picked up that guitar
Moved to Tennessee
To write some songs
It was a good thing (it was a good thing, it was a good thing)
Ooo it was a good thing (it was a good thing)
Ooo yeah, yeah, yeah
Turns out it was a good thing that it didn't work out
'Cause I wouldn't be where I am right now
It's a good thing God closed the door
He wanted to give me so much more
Than I ever wanted
Turns out that he was only getting started
Turning all my pain
And all my broken dreams
Into a good thing
Mmm into a good thing
It wasn't meant to be
Turns out it was a good thing that it didn't work out
'Cause I wouldn't be where I am right now
It's a good thing God closed the door
He wanted to give me so much more
Than I ever wanted
Turns out that he was only getting started
Turning all my pain
And all my broken dreams
Into a good thing
We were high school flames
I planned on changing her name
Having kids and a house down in Denver
But along the way
[?] separate ways
And we just couldn't make it better
I asked God what I did to deserve this But little did I know he was helping me grow so I could find my person
It was a good thing that it didn't work out
'Cause I wouldn't be where I am right now
It's a good thing God closed the door
He wanted to give me so much more
Than I ever wanted
Turns out that he was only getting started
Turning all my pain
And all my broken dreams
Into a good thing
Oh into a good thing
I had to hang up my cleats
And she broke my heart
What I thought was the end
Was just the start
I never got that job
So picked up that guitar

Ooo it was a good thing (it was a good thing)

Mmm into a good thing
