Jake Owen – What We Ain’t Got Lyrics

We all want what we ain’t got,
Our favorite doors are always locked.¹
On a higher hill with a taller top,²
We all want what we ain’t got.³

We ain’t happy where we are,
There’s greener grass⁴ in the neighbor’s yard.
A bigger house and a faster car,⁵
We ain’t happy where we are.

All I want is what I had,
I’ll trade it all just to get her back.⁶
She’s moving on, but I guess I’m not⁷
We all want what we ain’t got

We all wish it didn’t hurt,
When you try your best and it doesn’t work.⁸
And goodbye’s such a painful word,
We all wish it didn’t hurt.⁹

All I want is what I had,
I’d trade it all just to get her back.
She’s moving on, but I guess I’m not.
We all want what we ain’t got.

All I want is what I had,
I’d trade it all just to get her back.
She’s moving on, but I guess I’m not.
We all want what we ain’t got.

I wanted the world until my whole world stopped,¹⁰
You know a love like that ain’t easily forgot.¹¹
I guess we all want what we ain’t got.
Yeah, we all want what we ain’t got.¹²
