Story behind the song
Regrets about missing an event, which changed a friendship, and a love lost forever
Lyrics
Opportunity Missed
2009 GD Martin
Verse:
'Was Autumn back then,
I knew from how she smiled,
I'd have to ask her for a dance,
With her face just like a child.
I thought I knew it all,
'cept how to hold my booze;
In retrospect, 0l' Superman
Was stumbling in my shoes.
Chorus:
Opportunity missed
Is the echo in my head,
Don't blame it on good whiskey
If you can't get out of bed.
In my memory
She's walkin' 'cross my floor;
Opportunity missed was one more kiss,
And a friend who is no more.
Verse 2:
Two years grew past,
And we were feeling all we could be;
Then the war took me away,
And far across the sea.
She promised she would wait,
And then she'd be my bride;
I never made it to the church
Had Jack Daniels at my side.
Repeat Chorus.
Bridge:
I tried to get back to the past,
where future path-ways leave;
but, for now, "opportunity missed"
is all that I can see.
Repeat Chorus.
