Sitting here by the fire today
with nothing much I want to say
just playing my old songs
thinking back of all we had
didn't seem it was all too bad
wish I could change it all somehow
change the way it all turned out
but if we had never split
I would be by this fire pit
and I would be just as alone
cause you were any where but home
finally got it right today
when I woke up and I prayed
and gave the good lord thanks
Thanks for all my lucky breaks
Sometimes I just fall over
looking back instead of forward
I get trapped with where Ive been
seems to be my greatest sin
If I hadn't put jello in Julies chair
she wouldn't have held my hand at the fair
with all my friends standing there
If I had never mooned the crowd
I wouldn't have learned to make them laugh loud
I would still be in my shell
If I hadn't had a smart mouth
I wouldn't have learned to fight it out
or stick up for myself
If I could go back and not get in your truck
I wouldn't have been hurt when you broke up
but I would have missed out on so much
If I went back and changed my life
done things different done them right
I never would have learned
all these lessons that seemed to hurt
nothing else to understand
whats happened to me is not who I am
but its made me a better man
this road has made me a better man
finally got it right today
when I woke up and I prayed
and gave the good lord thanks
Thanks for all my lucky breaks
