Robert Cray - Laugh Out Loud lyrics

I can look back now at all the years I paid my dues Every broken heart, every dead end All those blues It don't matter now The tears I've waded through (?) I can laugh out loud I ended up with you I can laugh out loud I ended up with you I can laugh out loud At all the times I failed the test Lost someone And came out second best I can see now I had to learn a thing or two I was practicing then To get it right for you Ohh, I can laugh out loud Life and love Ain't it a mystery This road I've struggled down Has thrown some curves at me Who would have guessed The grand-prize would be mine? This late in the game This far down the line? I can look back now at all the years I paid my dues Every broken heart, every dead-end All those blues It don't matter now The tears I've waded through Ohh, I can laugh out loud I ended up with you I can laugh out loud I ended up with you Ohh, I can laugh out loud I ended up with you I can laugh out loud I ended up with you
