It don't take but one mistake and you can lose every take
|
No it don't take but one mistake and I'm the only one there is to blame
|
|
As I sit here with this mem'ry and a bottle to hold
|
I'm no longer a man just the body and soul
|
Lord I think back when my life at one time was so complete
|
Back then I'd never known of a hurt this deep
|
Once I had a loving wife and kids who kissed me when I came home
|
Then I made just one mistake and now everything I had is gone
|
If I hadn't been drinkin' so much that night and made 'em let me drive
|
I know they'd all still be here with me smilin' and happy and so alive
|
Now that night we'd celebrated cause it was our 10th wedding anniversary
|
all of our friends was there and as usually the drinks was free
|
And after we picked up the kids at night I guess my eyes were dimmed by the wine
|
I heard the horn blowin' but Lord I didn't see no stop sign
|
No it don't take but one mistake...
