I've done some things that I'd do anything to take back
And I've held onto for way too long and let go way too fast
Still waitin' on some change at the bottom of a well
Checkin' in and out of love like a Super 8 motel
I wish that straight and narrow wasn't so damn hard to walk
And I could call the man upstairs every time I need to talk
I wish hearts held together and dogs lived forever
And I could shake the dust off every time that I fall
But don't we all?
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Don't we all?
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I quit smokin' cigarettes for the second time this week
I've swept my mess under the rug and acted like it's clean
I've gone out to a crowded bar to not feel so alone
Paid the high price in the mornin' for some one-night cheap cologne
I wish that straight and narrow wasn't so damn hard to walk
And I could call the man upstairs every time I need to talk
I wish close friends would stay close and hometowns would stay home
And I could shake the dust off every time that I fall
But don't we all?
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Don't we all?
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Don't we all get it right?
Don't we all get it wrong?
Do the best that we can with what we've got goin' on, yeah
I wish that straight and narrow wasn't so damn hard to walk
And I could call the man upstairs every time I need to talk
I wish hearts held together and dogs lived forever
And I could shake the dust off every time that I fall
But don't we all?
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Don't we all?
Ooh-ooh-ooh
