I was young and single    Glad that i was free    Had my whole life ahead    There was nothing stoppin me       Headed out to Vegas, me and all my friends    Just a bunch of clowns runnin round in a town of sin    Ten shots later and one double dare    Met a girl said I do in some chapel out there          That was the best mistake I ever made    The Lord works in mysterious ways    Chose a wrong path all my life    But for once I did something right    And just one look in her and I see    Someone smiling down on me    And I'm not too proud to say    That was the best mistake I ever made       Trying to start a family was the last thing we had planned    Till I came home from work    She had her head in her hands    I could see the worry    Through the teardrops in her eyes    She said, "How we gonna do this when we're barely gettin by?"    We wern't prepared for all those changes in our world    That all changed when the doctor said it's a girl         That was the best mistake I ever made    The Lord works in mysterious ways    Chose a wrong path all my life    But for once I did something right    And just one look in her and I see    Someone smiling down on me    And I'm not too proud to say    That was the best mistake I ever made       There's consequences to the decisions in our lives    Just cause we didn't mean to do it that don't mean that it ain't right       That was the best mistake I ever made    The Lord works in mysterious ways    Chose a wrong path all my life    But for once I did something right    And just one look in her and I see    Someone smiling down on me    And I'm not too proud to say    That was the best mistake I ever made
