Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

I had a one night stand with my best friend's baby sister

To this day 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 be 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

If I had a dime, for half the things I did

 That didn't make no sense at all,

 I'd be livin' a little higher on the hog

If only I'd a known, that later on down the road

I'd look back and not like what I see

 I'd a 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

I lost a job most folks 'round here would die for

By layin' out all night and raisin' hell

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 family, 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 livin' a little higher on the hog

 If only I'd a known, that later on down the road

I'd look back and not like what I see

 I'd a changed a lot of things, startin' with me

If only I'd a known, that later on down the road

I'd look back and not like what I see

I'd a changed a lot of things, startin' with me

Startin' with me
