Done A Lot Of Things Different

I'd spend a lot more time

In the pouring rain without an umbrella ...

Covering my head.

And I'd stood up to that bully

When he pushed and called me names...

But I was too afraid.

And I'd a gone on and saw Elvis

That night he came to town...

But mama said I couldn't.

And I'd a went skinny dipping with Jenny Carson

That time she dared me to...

But I didn't.

Oh I, I'd Done A Lot Of Things Different

I wished I'd a spent more time

With my dad when he was alive..

Now I don't have the chance.

I wish I had told my brother,

How much I loved him before

He went off to war...

But I just shook his hand.

And I wish I had gone to church

On Sunday morning when my grandma begged me to...

But I was afraid of God.

And I wish I would've listened when they said Boy, you're gonna wish you hadn't...

But I wouldn't.

Oh I, I'd Done A Lot Of Things Different.

People say they wouldn't change a thing,

Even if they could...

Oh but I would.

There was this red dress she wanted one time

So bad she could taste it.

I should've bought it...

But I didn't.

She wanted to paint our bedroom yellow

And trim it blues and greens...

But I wouldn't let her,

Wouldn't a hurt nuthin.

She loved to be held and kissed and touched...

But I didn't do it, not nearly enough.

And if I'd a known that dance

Was going to be our last dance...

I'd have asked that band to play on & on & on.

Oh I, I'd Done A Lot Of Things Different.

People say they wouldn't change a thing,

Even if they could...

Oh but I would.

Ohhhhh... Oh I,

I'd Done A Lot Of Things Different.

Oh I, I'd Done A Lot Of Things...

I think we'd all

Do A Lot Of Things Different.
