lyrics

Do-Over
Jerry Swann/ George Teren

I’d like a bigger house, a newer truck
A long vacation or a run of luck
A winning ticket to the lotto game
I wish that I could sing or play guitar
That i could move to Nashville and be a star
But even more than fortune or fame (I’d like a)

Do-over a second chance
To grab the things i let slip through my hands
To be the husband that I should have been
To stay in touch with my two kids
A do-over to press rewind
To smell the roses and take my time
Yeah, I’d start flying right and staying sober
If I had a do-over

I’d spend a lot more time down on my knees
Take a hard look at my priorities
Beg forgiveness for mistakes ’ve made
I know there ain’t no turnin’ back the clock
But if I walk the walk and talk the talk
I’m kind of thinking it might not be too late (to have a)
Repeat chorus
Yeah i’d start flying right and staying sober if i had a do-over
