This song is 90% about my ex-wife and 10% about me wanting to write a song using something a friend once told me.
All those things you used to say
Finally make sense to me
You told me 'que cera, cera'
and you told me 'c'est la vie'
I thought you were crazy
In ways I couldn't believe
Didn't get it all back then
But now it's plain to see
You taught me all bout Murphy's Law
You said 'what will be will be'
Since I left you I learned something new
If it's gonna happen
If it's gonna happen
If it's gonna happen
Chances are good it's gonna happen to me
When I packed my stuff and left you
After you filed for our divorce
My car broke down half way home
I barely made it to my door
The last two years been crazy
Trying to rebuild my life
Since the day you told me
You didn't want to be my wife
You taught me all bout Murphy's Law
You said 'what will be will be'
Since I left you I learned something new
If it's gonna happen
If it's gonna happen
If it's gonna happen
Chances are good it's gonna happen to me
Some wild things have happened
Since I left Texas and you
Took some time to heal my heart
And do what I had to do
I'm still climbing up out of
The hole you knocked down
But I know that I'll make it
Would you like to know how
You taught me all bout Murphy's Law
You said 'what will be will be'
Since I left you I learned something new
If it's gonna happen
If it's gonna happen
If it's gonna happen
Chances are good it's gonna happen to me
So if it's gonna happen
If it's gonna happen
And I know it's gonna happen
Chances are good it's gonna happen to me
