i’d spend a lot more time in the pouring rain
without an umbrella
covering my head
and i’d stood up to that bully when he pushed
and called me names
but i was too afraid
and i’d a gone on and saw elvis that night he came to town
but mama said i couldn’t
and i’d awent skinny dipping with jenny carson
that time she dared me to
but i didn’t
oh i i’d done a lot of things different
i wished i’d a spent more time with my dad
when he was alive
now i don’t have the chance
i wish i had told my brother how much i loved him
before he went off to war
but i just shook his hand
and i wish i had gone to church on sunday morning
when my grandma begged me too
but i was afraid of god
and i wish i would’ve listened when they said boy
you’re going to wish you hadn’t
but i wouldn’t
oh i i’d done a lot of things different
people say they wouldn’t change a thing
even if they could
oh but i would
there was this red dress she wanted one time so bad
she could taste it
and i should have bought it’
but i didn’t
she wanted to paint our bedroom yellow and trim it
blues and greens
but i wouldn’t let her wouldn’t ahurt nothing
she loved to be held and kissed and touched but i didn’t do it
not nearly enough
and if i’d a known that dance was going to be our last dance
i’d a asked that band to play on and on and on
oh i i’d done a lot of things different
people say they wouldn’t change a thing even if they could
oh but i would
oh whoa oh i i’d done a lot of things different
oh i i’d done a lot of things
i think we’d all done a lot of things different
