Been sittin' on this front porch swing
Watchin' the sun go down
The whiskey's gone, and the bottle's dry
Not a soul in this old town
The echoes of the life I led
Bellow through the trees
I see the ghosts of better days
And the man I used to be
Could've loved a little stronger
Held her close, a little longer
Now I'm left with these regrets
And a heart that won't forget
Choices made and bridges burned
Lessons lived and lessons learned
So tell me what am I to do
Cause I ain't got a clue
The jukebox plays a lonesome tune
In a bar where the sober fades
I see her face in every room
The price that I have paid
Now I'm haunted by my memories
Just a wanderin' drunken ghost
Could've loved a little stronger
Held her close, a little longer
Now I'm left with these regrets
And a heart that won't forget
Choices made and bridges burned
Lessons lived and lessons learned
So tell me what am I to do
Cause I ain't got a clue
If I could turn back the hands of time
I'd make amends and walk the line
But the past is gone, it won't return
And the lessons, oh they burn
Could've loved a little stronger
Held her close, a little longer
Now I'm left with these regrets
And a heart that won't forget
Choices made and bridges burned
Lessons lived and lessons learned
So tell me what am I to do
Cause I ain't got a clue
