A Different Turn

Looking back, I wish I could change things that I have done wrong, Then if I did, I'd open my eyes in the morning to the sound of a different song, Sometimes I wish I could have tooken a different turn, Then If I did, I'd wish it was the other way around, Though if I took no turn at all, I'd be headed back to town, Sometimes I wish I could take back the things that I have said, Through my mistakes I have learned to repent, For I have done my share of crimes, Though if I did not learn from my mistakes, two nickels would not equal a dime, When all is said, When all is done we can not change the past, Though we can set our minds to remember good memories that come to pass, Without memories we are not able to tie notts in a rope, That help us pull in the ryes of love that feel us full of hope Lana
