I'd spent a lot more time in the pouring rain covering my head
and i'd stood up to that bully when he pushed and called me names
i was to affraid
and i'd gone on and saw elvis that night he came to town
mama said i couldn't
i'd went skinny dippin' with jenny carson that time she dared me to

I wish i woulda spent more time with my dad when he was alive
now i dont have the chance
i wish i would've told my brother how much i loved him before he went off to war
but i just shook his hand
i wish i'd gone to church on sunday morning when my grandma begged me to
but i was affraid to go
i wish i'd woulda listened when they said "boy your gunna wish you hadn't"
but i wouldnt

There was this red dress she wanted one time so bad she could taste it
i should've bought it
but i didnt
she wanted to paint our bedroom yellow trimed in blue's and green's
but i wouldnt let her

she loved to be held and kisses and touched
but i didnt do it

and if i'd known that dance was gunna be our last dance
i'd asked that band to play

People say they wouldn't change a thing
even if they could
oooh but i would
ooooh oooh
oooh i, i'd done a lot of things different
oooh i, i'd done a lot of things
i think we'd all do a lot of things different
