I have been very lucky to have done a lot of different and interesting things in my life and I

continue to add to my list.

This may sound like a song about regret. It is simply a song about reflection…

Life Got In The Way



thought I might live out my days fishing away my time

Watching cutthroat trout on the Yellowstone river rising up to a fly

Trying not to lose that fish Trying not to lose my hat

But a man’s gotta work for a living So it didn’t work out like that


wish I could have been a cowboy or maybe a fishing guide

I probably could have been a million things and I sure do wish I’d tried

wish I could have said I love you more and no it’s not ok

Cause Now I’m down to my last excuse Life got in the way


Saw a barrel racer in Cody Man that girl could ride

She was smiling at a cowboy in a brand new shirt that was standing by her side

I won’t win a buckle or her heart so I sat down in my seat

Maybe if I could have done it again that cowboy would be me


wish I could have been a cowboy or maybe a fishing guide

I probably could have been a million things and I sure do wish I’d tried

wish I could have said I love you more and no it’s not ok

Cause Now I’m down to my last excuse Life got in the way
