REGRET: A Country Song
Summer days sometimes get me down
Get me thinkin’ back to when
We’d go out to that little dance hall
Steppin’ to the gentle giant on the juke
Cold beer, 4-bit pool, buckin’ bull and all
I Can't say I don’t think about you
Truth is, I think about you all the time
Barely put my head down on the pillow
‘Fore you start getting on my mind
Regret, it set up shop inside my head
One thing I still can’t quite get over
Was lettin’ you go that hot August day
I wonder what exactly you’d have said
If you knew how much I needed you to stay
Can’t say that I don’t think about you
Truth is, I wonder about you all the time
Barely get this pickup truck in gear
‘Fore you start gettin’ on my mind
Got your Christmas card the other day
I see you have a little girl now
Seems your life is workin’ out just fine
You know they closed our little dance hall
And I heard ol’ Don Williams passed away
Can’t say I don’t think about you
Truth is, I think about you all the time
Barely sit down on the bar stool
‘Fore you start gettin’ on my mind.
Only a fool says he’s got no regrets
Mine took a room inside my head
I lost a part of me that August day
There are so many things I could’ve done
So many words I didn’t think to say
Can’t say I don’t think about you
Truth is, your always there inside my head
I wake up every day and start regrettin’
Before I’m even out of bed
