If I only knew
The trouble you'd go through
Maybe I would have done it differently
I was traveling out of control
And I left you by the road
I've closed the bars with half this town
And stayed up with all the others
I used to be in a rock band;
We were kinda funny like the Smothers Brothers
I was selfish
And so immature
Sailing seas of lies just drinking
And never thinking
About anyone but me
I've closed the bars with half this town
And went home with all the others
I used to be in a rock band;
We were kinda funny like the Smothers Brothers
She took off and joined
She ran and joined the Haters' Union
She's paying dues to the Haters' Union
So please take heed
From a sad old man
And if you find true love to hold
Don't let it go
Don't be afraid to jump on in
Every action has a reaction
Every action makes a ripple
