[Verse 1: Kacey Musgraves]
Well I guess you had to be there
Such a different place
I was cruisin' along
Never thinkin' that we'd ever change
Yeah I guess you had to be there
It was a hell of a ride
Lines were blurry and hurried
But it felt like the stars had aligned

[Chorus: Brian Wilson]
We were sharin' a new day
Singing a new song
And everyone's problems
Were suddenly gone
Everything I ever wanted
Is right before my face
Tell all the beautiful people
Were always at my place

[Verse 2: Kacey Musgraves]
Well I guess you had to be there
All we wanted was more
There were winners and losers
And people passed out on my floor
And you know you should've called me
For that real good time
Guess you missed some of the gold
When you're too busy chasin' the shine
[Chorus]

[Chorus (alternate)]
We were sharing a new day
Sipping on a new wine
And everyone's problems
Were suddenly mine
And all you ever wanted
Was right in front of your face
Starts as a good thing
Turns into a headache
