i had a one night stand with my best friend’s baby sister
and to this day he still won’t speak to me
i pawned my grandpa’s old 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 wrung 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 living a little higher on the hog
if only i’d’ve known that later on down the road
i’d look back and not like what i see
i’d’ve changed a lot of things
starting 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 around 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 standing by the bed
when the preacher bowed his head
with the family the day my grandma die
