Paul Supreme - The Guy You Never Knew

I remember my first honkey tonk was uh
West allis stallis palace
I hold the door at the grocery store
In my small town
He storms out and knocks an old lady's groceries to the ground
As I pick up that last stalk of broken celery
I look up into the eyes of the woman of my dreams
When I said excuse me mam
She smiled back at me
Her smile could've stayed a while
But she chased him to that Jeep
In the memory banks of a parallel universe
I probably was the guy you're with
I'd take you out to our secret spot
In the woods for a picnic
Make you laugh until you cry
That reality won't come true
So unfortunately I'll always be
The guy you never knew
Just the guy you never knew
Then that night at the watering hole
I'll be damned who do I see
Sitting alone on her phone
With a tear running down her cheek
I said you know you're the prettiest girl that I've ever seen
And if you'd let me take you out
I'd give you the best of me
She said that's sweet and turned me down
Committed to a guy who makes her frown
I bought her drink and I left her to weep
And as I walked away I said
You'd be better with a guy like me
In the memory banks of a parallel universe
I probably was the guy you're with
I'd take you out to our secret spot
In the woods for a picnic
Make you laugh until you cry
That reality won't come true
So unfortunately I'll always be
The guy you never knew
Just the guy you never knew
