Lyrics
Maybe, I should just give up
And tell the kids
Not to follow their dreams
Dreams never amount to much
And maybe, I should shine my shoes
Put on a business suit
Polish up my resume
But I don't want to be...
Someone who always seems to
Say the same things like...
I wish I would've when I could've
But I didn't
Thought I shouldn't
Thought I couldn't...
So I didn't...
I wish I would've
Lord knows I could've
But now I'm just grown old
And people give me advice
And tell me what they think I should do
Like, when are you going to grad school?
Get yourself a nicer car and
Buy yourself some fancy clothes and
Get yourself a fat bank account
But I don't want to be...
Someone who always seems to
Say the same things like...
I wish I would've when I could've
But I didn't
Thought I shouldn't
Thought I couldn't...
So I didn't...
I wish I would've
You know I could've
But now I'm just grown old
But I know life is tough
Got all these bills and such and
I got holes in my jeans
But I got this old guitar
I write these simple words
All I can give you is a song
