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 guitar in collage   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 hall   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 was in there standin' by the bed when the preacher bowed his head   With the family, the day my grandma die      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 hall   If only I'd've known that later on down the road   I'd look back and not like what I see   Ohh, 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   Ohh, I'd've changed a lot of things startin' with me   Startin' with me
