I was riding down Purvis Road
Saw a goat stuck in some woven wire
Pulled out some pliers, helped a farmer out
And now I got a new piece of hunting land
Saw a tenant at the Texaco
Crying right behind the register
Tipped her a twenty I didn’t have
But damn it, her smile was worth an hour wage
Chalk it up to right place at the right time
Ain’t it funny how stars align?
Can’t make it up even if you tried
Just chalk it up to right place at the right time
Tuscaloosa in her junior year
I was picking me a cover show
Couple beers turns to a couple years
Man, ain’t it funny how it goes?
Chalk it up to right place at the right time
Ain’t it funny how stars align?
Can’t make it up even if you tried
Chalk it up to right place at the right time
Got a buddy that was more than blood
Seen some things I can’t comprehend
Two years of duty pushed him to his limit
He said, “I’m glad you hollered when you did.”
‘Cause a bullet ain’t the answer, friend…
I was calling you to just say “hi”
Just chalk it up to right place at the right time
