Lyrics
Blessings in Disguise
©Lee Johnson/Scott Miller
She worked five years at the diner down the road
Took double shifts to pay off her college loans
Same old faces every week, greasy plates, achin' feet,
And food stained clothes
Tears ran down her cheeks most every night
Her Mama'd call and say "it'll be alright"
You might not believe me now,
But this will all work out
Believe in your (our 2ndx) dreams, they'll come true in the end
If you (we 2nd x) hold on and see what's around the next bend
In time you'll (we'll 2nd x) realize
This was a Blessing In Disguise
He had breakfast at the counter everyday
He could make her smile and time would melt away
They dreamed about a better life, down the road, love would guide,
They'd get away
When they both got laid off 'round the same time
He said lets pack our things, we're gonna be fine...
Chorus then Bridge
They both found jobs in a brand new town
trying to buy a house, but can't afford it now
and they just got news, twins are on the way
Times like this, she can still hear mama say....
Chorus Breakdown then big out...
