verse:
Traveling to Boston way back then.
We made love in the back of a van.
I wish I could do things over again.
I thought I had become a man.
Now I'm older, almost twenty-one,
Taking care of my five year old son.
She says she's tired of being a mom
I understand where that came from.
chorus:
Bad choices are all I can make.
And at night I lie awake.
Wondering how things turned out this way.
Wondering when I went astray.
Wondering why.
verse:
At six a firecracker went off in my hand.
I put the car in a ditch at age ten.
Was watching porn before I knew how to shave.
Wish someone had taught me how to behave.
I never did too well in school.
Guess no one cared if I followed the rules.
Been trying to make things better for me.
Wish I'd done that when I was fifteen.
chorus
verse:
I love my son but I lost what I had.
Working, studying and being a dad.
Someday we're gonna get a place of our own.
I hope he makes good choices before he's grown.
chorus
