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 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 have known  That later on down the road  I’d look back and not like what I see  I’d have 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 have known  That later on down the road  I’d look back and not like what I see  I’d have changed a lot of things  Startin’ with me    If only I’d have known  That later on down the road  I’d look back and not like what I see  Whoa, I’d have changed a lot of things  Startin’ with me  Startin’ with me    these lyrics are submitted by Sarah Elizabeth B.
