Lyrics
Never would've struck this match/never would've started back/this cigarette'd be my last/if I knew what was good for me Never would've bought this drink/never would've gone beyond the brink/I'd a told 'em to pour the damned thing down the sink/if I knew what was good for me But I learn things the hard way/time and time again Never would've said hello/never would've danced so slow/I'd have settled my tab and headed home/if I knew what was good for me But I learn things the hard way/time and time and time and time again No, I never would've said that first hello, never would have gave my heart and soul, and Lord knows I'd learn to let you go, if I knew what was good for me - See more at: http://www.cheleytackett.com/here_cd/#sthash.9GLBHAoM.dpuf
