Capo 4th fret

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
