Startin' With Me

[Verse 1]

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 wrung my neck

When she caught me with those cigarettes

Which reminds me, I'm down to my last pack

[Chorus]

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

Starting with me

[Verse 2]

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 around 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 standing by the bed

When the preacher bowed his head

With the family, the day my grandma die

[Chorus][x2]
