Rewrite My Life
If I could rewrite my life
Here’s what I’d change
I’d be from in a small town down in Alabama
Daddy would own a big ole farm
Momma would always stay a saint
I’d hug them tight with both of my arms
No, they wouldn’t be fighting every night
Little Banjo would’ve never grown old
And I’d be staying young in that small peaceful world
I’ve done a thousand things that I ain’t proud of
And there’re a thousand more that I can’t change
Bad decisions, broken hearts and empty vows
They say all regrets go away with age
Don’t know what people are trying to say
Everything I have was because of my past
Still ain’t proud of who I am today
I pray to God that I can still rewrite my life
If I could rewrite my life
Here’s what I’d say
I’d be the famous kid outta Westmount High
I’d always be on that Dean’s List
My first kiss would be at thirteen
And driving daddy’s truck to school at sixteen
No, home team would’ve never lost that Friday night
My five best friends would still be my best friends
Lisa never left and she’d be my wife by now
I’ve done a thousand things that I ain’t proud of
And there’re a thousand more that I can’t change
Bad decisions, broken hearts and empty vows
They say all regrets go away with age
Don’t know what people are trying to say
Everything I have was because of my past
Still ain’t proud of who I am today
I pray to God that I can still rewrite my life
If I could rewrite my life
Here’s what I wouldn’t change
All the friends that got me here tonight
Thanks to you
Now I see
You’re the best thing that happened to my life
I’ve done a thousand things that I am proud of
And they’re a thousand more that I can still change
Right decisions, finished dreams and unbroken vows
They say all regrets go away with age
Hell, now I see what they were all trying to say
Everything I have was because of my past
I am so proud of who I am today
I thank God that I can’t rewrite my life
Yeah, I thank God that I can’t rewrite my life
