A Lot of Things Different

I'd of spent a lot more time in the pouring rain

without an umbrella coverin my head

And I'd have stood up to that bully when he pushed

and called me names, but I was too afraid

And I'd have gone and saw Elvis that night he came to town

But momma said I couldn't

And I'd have went skinny dippin with Jenny Carson

that time she dared me to, but I didn't



O I, I'd done a lot of things different



I wish I'd have spent more time with my dad when he was alive

Now I don't have the chance

And I wish I had told my brother how much I love him

before he went off to war, But I just shook his hand

I wish I'd have gone to church on Sunday morning when my

grandma begged me to, But I was afraid of God.

And I wish I'd have listened when they said boy

you're gonna wish you hadn't, But I wouldn't



O I, I'd done a lot of things different



People say they wouldn't change a thing

Even if they could

O but I would



There was this red dress she wanted one time so bad she

could taste it I should of bought it, but I didn't

She wanted to paint our bedroom yellow and trim it in

blues and greens, But I wouldn't let her

Wouldn't have hurt nothin'

She loved to be held and kissed and touched

But I didn't do it not nearly enough

And if I'd of know that dance was gonna be our last dance

I'd of asked that band to play on and on, on and on



O I, I'd done a lot of things different



People say they wouldn't change a thing

Even if they could

O but I would

oo, oo

O I, I'd done a lot of things different

O I, I'd done a lot of things

I think we'd all do a lot of things different
