If I'd been any other place
|
On any other day
|
If it had been another time
|
Or any other way
|
If I'd been someone else's kid
|
I might not 'a done the things I did.
|
|
I might not 'a sang the songs I've sung
|
Thought the thoughts I've thought
|
Hung with whom I've hung
|
Fought the ones I fought
|
Read the books I read
|
Wrote the things I've wrote
|
Said the things I've said
|
That got your precious goat
|
|
I might not a burned the wax I've burned
|
Done some things I shouldn't
|
Learned what I have learned
|
Promised things I couldn't
|
Slept the days I've slept
|
Woke the nights I've woke
|
Kept the words I've kept
|
Broke the ones I've broke
|
Chorus
|
I might not a turned the soil I've turned
|
Prayed the hopes I prayed
|
Burned the fields I've burned
|
Made the mess I've made
|
Found the love I found
|
Hurt the times I've hurt
|
Gained some precious ground
|
Blackland family dirt
|
|
Might not a fished the holes I've fished
|
Dropped the balls I've dropped
|
Closed my eyes and wished
|
Then caught the ones I've caught
|
Drank the things I drank
|
Smoked the things I smoked
|
Sunk the boats I've sank
|
Choked the times I've choked
|
|
I might not a talked to my old man
|
And a few old men of others
|
Verified their plans
|
By talkin' to our mothers
|
Dodged my share of lead
|
Seen the strain of dyin'
|
Bled the way I bled
|
Felt the hope of tryin'
|
|
Chorus
|
|
I might not a turned the soil I've turned
|
Prayed the hopes I prayed
|
Burned the fields I've burned
|
Made the mess I've made
|
Found the love I found
|
Hurt the times I've hurt
|
Gained some precious ground
|
Blackland family dirt
