Maybe It's A Good Thing
My sister called me up in tears
Said we're getting a divorce
All he had to say after seven years
Is I don't love you any more
I told her I was sorry
Said I've been noticing your pain
I didn't say what I was thinking
But I was thinking it just the same
Maybe it's a good thing
Maybe there's a silver lining
The sun is always shining behind the clouds
Maybe on down the road
You'll be riding on a rainbow
Maybe we're not meant to know
How it's all gonna go down, turn out, oh
Maybe it's a good thing
Daddy loves telling the story
How he and my Momma met
About that girl who broke his heart
And how he has no regrets
"He says I outta thank her
For walking out on me that day
Cause three years later you were born
And your sister was on the way"
Maybe it's a good thing
Maybe there's a silver lining
The sun is always shining behind the clouds
Maybe on down the road
You'll be riding on a rainbow
Maybe we're not meant to know
How it's all gonna go down, turn out, oh
Maybe it's a good thing
(Bridge) Some times your biggest loss
Leaves you better off
It's been a year since I got that call
My sister's doing ok
She's got a new job she loves
She's finding her own way
And there's a guy there who keeps smiling at her
She not quite ready for that
But something tells me pretty soon
She's gonna smile back
Maybe it's a good thing
Maybe there's a silver lining
The sun is always shining behind the clouds
Maybe on down the road
You'll be riding on a rainbow
Maybe we're not meant to know
How it's all gonna go down, turn out, oh
Maybe it's a good thing
