Mistakes

(Billy Walker)



I remember when I was the world's richest man

But true love and a simple life were like chains on hands

The wild streak inside me broke free from the chains

But tonight this poor fool craves his riches again.



Mistakes, mistakes, careless mistakes

I wonder just how many one man can make

But to be a failure I know what it takes

To be burdened down with careless mistakes.

How long are the nights and so bitter the wine

And this girl don't measure up to that woman of mine

But there's no need of dreaming it's all lost to me

What I thought was my future turned out to be.



Mistakes, mistakes, careless mistakes

I wonder just how many one man can make

But to be a failure I know what it takes

To be burdened down with careless mistakes.



Careless mistakes...
