REGRET: A Country Song

Tue, 12/07/2021 - 17:51 -- JPGeo

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
