Only fools would race down Grist Mill Road
|
Let alone in angry weather
|
That what I tell everyone I know
|
Now that I know better
|
That's a lesson I wish I woulda learned
|
Without havin' to watch my Mustang burn
|
Before my best buddy had to wind up hurt
|
An' his whole life changed
|
That's a lesson I wish I didn't learn the hard way
|
|
Only a fool would keep a diamond ring
|
In a box on the top of his closet
|
He came so close; he almost asked
|
It was right there in his pocket
|
That's a lesson I wish I woulda learned
|
Before standin' in the back row of that church
|
Watchin' her daddy givin' her
|
To the man who took my place
|
That's a lesson I wish I didn't learn the hard way
|
|
Regret's been know to give a man a beatin'
|
But I ain't in the mood for fightin' back this evenin'
|
|
Only fools don't take the time of day
|
They stay too busy runnin'
|
An' to stop just once to tell their Dad
|
Just how much they love him
|
That's a lesson I wish I woulda learned
|
Before that phone call came an' it was her
|
No, Momma never had to say a word
|
I knew it was too late
|
That's a lesson I wish I didn't learn the hard way
|
|
The hard way
|
The hard way
|
The hard way
|
|
