Startin' With Me

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 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
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 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 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 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
oh I'd've changed
a lot of things
Startin'with me
If only I'd've known
That later on down the road
I'd look back and
not like what I see
Oh I'd've changed
a lot of things
Startin'with me
Startin'with me
