Startin’ With Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I had a one night stand with my best friend's baby sister And to this day he still won't speak to me I pawned my grandpa's old guitar in college For a case of beer and a tank of gasoline I took a swing at my old man one Christmas I never dreamed that it would be his last I wish mom had wrung my neck When she caught me with those cigarettes Which reminds me, I'm down to my last pack [Chorus] If I had a dime for half the things I did That didn't make no sense at all I'd be living a little higher on the hog If only I'd've known that later on down the road I'd look back and not like what I see I'd've changed a lot of things Starting with me [Verse 2] I called my brother everything I could think of The night he wouldn't bail me out of jail I lost a job most folks around here would die for By laying out all night and raising hell And I let a woman that I love slip through my fingers Chalk another dumb move up to my foolish pride I wasn't there standing by the bed When the preacher bowed his head With the family, the day my grandma die [Chorus][x2]
