If I only knew   The trouble you’d go through   Maybe I would have done it differently   I was traveling out of control   And I left you by the road      I’ve closed the bars with half this town   And stayed up with all the others   I used to be in a rock band;   we were kinda funny like the Smothers Brothers      I was selfish   And so immature   Sailing seas of lies just drinking   And never thinking   About anyone but me      I’ve closed the bars with half this town   And went home with all the others   I used to be in a rock band;   We were kinda funny like the Smothers Brothers      She took off and joined   She ran and joined the Haters’ Union   She’s paying dues to the Haters’ Union      So please take heed   From a sad old man   And if you find true love to hold   Don’t let it go   Don’t be afraid to jump on in      Every action has a reaction   Every action makes a ripple
