Song Lyrics

I'd spent a lot more time in the pouring rain covering my head
And I'd stood up to that bully when he pushed and called me names
I was to afraid
And I'd gone on and saw Elvis that night he came to town
Mama said I couldn't
I'd went skinny dippin' with Jenny Carson that time she dared me to
I didn't
Oooh I, I'd done a lot of things different

I wish I woulda spent more time with my dad when he was alive
Now I don't have the chance
I wish I would've told my brother how much I loved him before he went off to war
But I just shook his hand
I wish I'd gone to church on Sunday morning when my grandma begged me to
But I was afraid to go
I wish I'd woulda listened when they said "boy your gunna wish you hadn't"
But I wouldn't
Oooh I, I'd don't a lot of things different

People say they wouldn't change a thing
Even if they could
Oooh but I would

There was this red dress she wanted one time so bad she could taste it
I should've bought it
But I didn't
She wanted to paint our bedroom yellow trimed in blue's and green's
But I wouldn't let her
It wouldn't have hurt nothin'
She loved to be held and kisses and touched
But I didn't do it
Not nearly enough
And if I'd known that dance was gunna be our last dance
I'd asked that band to play
On and on
Ooon and ooon
Oooh I, I'd done a lot of things different

People say they wouldn't change a thing
Even if they could
Oooh but I would
Ooooh oooh
Oooh I, I'd done a lot of things different
Oooh I, I'd done a lot of things
I think we'd all do a lot of things different
