Lyrics

He left the Ozarks ?cause he pined for city life
And met a girl in Houston who became his wife
He worked a nine to five paid her tuition fees
She changed her major in her junior year to forestry

Who said the best laid plans of mice and men fall through
Despite how hard you try no matter what you do
This life can go awry but don?t come unglued
When the law of unintended consequences visits you
When the law of unintended consequences visits you

I have a friend who changed career at forty three
So he could spend more time with his family
He took his savings and he opened up a store
Now he works longer days than before

Who said the best laid plans of mice and men fall through
Despite how hard you try no matter what you do
This life can go awry but don?t come unglued
When the law of unintended consequences visits you
When the law of unintended consequences visits you

Some folks don?t blink an eye when life throws them a curve
They persevere through thick and thin
But most of us aren?t like that as far as I can tell
We get a little bothered when things go to hell

Who said the best laid plans of mice and men fall through
Despite how hard you try no matter what you do
This life can go awry but don?t come unglued
When the law of unintended consequences visits you
When the law of unintended consequences visits you
When the law of unintended consequences visits you
When the law of unintended consequences visits you
When the law of unintended consequences visits you
