You grew up in Texas
With a lot to lose
Two middle class parents
With a lot to prove
Somewhere between poverty
And private school but you knew
Someday you'd see this town
In the rearview mirror
Saw Friday night lights
And all the High School fame
Popularity contests
And the stupid games
Ten years after graduation
No one remembers your name
It it all becomes clearer
In the rearview mirror
Your greatest mistakes
Are the chances that you didn't take
Your greatest mistakes
Are the promises you never made
Fell in love with the scene
And playing rock and roll
The late nights and bright lights
And your untamed soul
Four years in a van can start
To take it's toll don't you know
Those glory days all live
In the rearview mirror
Your greatest mistakes
Are the chances that you didn't take
Your greatest mistakes
Are the promises you never made
Don't waste the rest of your life
Staring, no
Don't waste the rest of your life
Staring, no
Would it even change a thing?
Would it even change a thing?
Would it even change a thing?
Would it even change a thing?
You've done pretty good so far
You've done pretty good so far
You've done pretty good so far
You've done pretty good
You've done pretty good so far
You've done pretty good so far
You've done pretty good so far
You've done pretty good
Your greatest mistakes
Are the chances that you didn't take
Your greatest mistakes
Are the promises you never made
