Artist: Jake Owen Album: Startin' With Me (2006) Title: Startin' With Me
Lyrics Startin' With MeI had a one night stand with my best friend's baby sister To this day he still won't speak to me I pawned my Grandpa's old guitar in college For a case 'a beer and a tank 'a gasoline
I took a swing at my ol' 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 livin' a little higher on the hog If only I'd 'a known That later on down the road I'd look back and not like what I see I'd 'a changed a lotta things Startin' with me
I called my brother everything I could think of The night he wouldn't bail me outta jail I lost a job most folks 'round here would die for By layin' out all night and raisin' 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 livin' a little higher on the hog If only I'd 'a known That later on down the road I'd look back and not like what I see (Oh) I'd 'a changed a lotta things Startin' with me |
