Some mistakes I’m still paying for
Spending every dime I got and more
Tryna figure out where I went wrong
Just a sad old bastard with the same old songs
Call my momma every now and then
I tried to tell her that I am a changed man
But she don’t hear the words I say
Hell actions speak louder anyways
I’m still longin’ for the truth
But I’m worn down to my soul
I got nothing left to lose
But it ain’t the road that you’re on
Or how fast you get there
It’s learning how to drive
Even when life ain’t fair
It’s everyday wakin’ up
Thankin’ God for all that you got
Whether that’s easy or not.
They all told me long ago
Time flies by and they were right you know
The older I get the more I see
The truth ain’t always what it seems to be
I haven’t always been the one you’d call
And I know I drove you up a wall
And I burned every bridge just to build it back
Lost your trust and I regret the fact
I was getting in my own way
But if you’ll just forgive me
I’ll show you everyday
That it ain’t the road that you’re on
Or how fast you get there
It’s learning how to drive
Even when life ain’t fair
It’s everyday wakin’ up
Thankin’ God for all that you got
Whether that’s easy or not.
In my head sorrow built a home
I could smoke it out or drink away
The darkness that I’ve known
But I’m gonna find a way to heal the damage done
And be a better man than the one that I had become
Cause it ain’t the road that you’re on
Or how fast you get there
It’s learning how to drive
Even when life ain’t fair
It’s everyday wakin’ up
Thankin’ God for all that you got
Whether that’s easy or not.
