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
