I had a one night stand with my best friend's baby sister And to this he still won't speak to me I pawned my grandpa’s old guitar in college For a case of beer and a tank of gasoline I took a swing at my old man one Christmas I never dreamed that it would his last I wish mom had rung my neck When she caught me with those cigarettes Which reminds me, I’m down to my last pack
I had a dime For half the things I did That didn’t make no sense at all I'd be living a little higher on the hall If only I’d have known later on down the road I’d look back and not what I see I’d have changed a lot of things Startin’ with me
I called my brother everything I could think of The night he wouldn’t bail me out of jail lost a job most folks ‘round here would die for By laying out all night and raising hell And I let a woman that I love slip through my fingers Chalk another dumb move up to my foolish pride I wasn't there standin’ by the bed When the preacher bowed his head With the the day my grandma died
If I had a dime For half the things I did That didn’t make no sense at all I'd be living little higher on the hall If only I'd have known That later on down the road look back and not like what I see I’d have changed a lot of things Startin’ with me
If only I’d have known That later on down the road I’d look back and not what I see Whoa, I’d have changed a lot of things Startin’ with me Startin’ with me
