Meaning Again - Brad Paisley

Sittin' on the interstate

The end of another day

Feeling tired, feeling beat up, feeling small

Sick of running this rat race

And coming in last place

Feeling like I don’t matter at all

And then I walk through the door

She says «I missed you, where ya been?»

And just like that

My life has meaning again

Sometimes work takes her away

She’s gone a couple days

I overdose on ESPN

Between reruns of Sports Center

One too many drive-through windows

I wind up counting down the minutes

Till her plane comes in

And then she walks through the door

She sets her suitcase down

And then just like that

My life has meaning again

If there’s one thing

I’ve learned in this life

It’s that breathing don’t make you alive

You need a reason

Some grander scheme why you’re here

Buddy, I’ve found mine

Sometimes I think

What’s the point?

This messed up world we’re living in

And then she smiles

It all makes sense

Yeah, just like that

My life has meaning again
