Song Lyrics

Half of my mistakes I've made stone cold sober
Half of my mistakes I've made at closing time
Half the time I never saw it coming until it was over
Oh, and half of my mistakes I've made with love on the line

Half of my mistakes I swear I should've known better
Half of my mistakes were just amongst friends
You get a little distance on it, the truth is clearer
Oh, and half of my mistakes I'd probably make 'em again

If I had it all to do over
I'm sure I'd win and lose just as much
Spend a lot less time on right and wrong
And a lot more time on love

Half of my mistakes I've made 'cause I was moving too quickly
Half of them were made 'cause my heart was moving too slow
Nobody can tell you a damn thing if you ain't listening
Oh, and half of my mistakes I've made 'cause I couldn't let go

If I had it all to do over
I'm sure I'd win and lose just as much
Spend a lot less time on right and wrong
And a lot more time on love

Half of my mistakes I'd give anything to change how it ended
Oh, and half of my mistakes God, I wouldn't change one thing
You can lean too hard on a prayer but I don't recommend it
'Cause half the good things in my life came from half of my mistakes
Yeah, a lot of good things in my life came from half of my mistakes

Bobby Houck, Radney M. Foster
