If I Could Go Back
If I could go back and do anything again
I would drive more slowly
I would have not destroyed so many cars
I would not have landed in ditches expecting to die
I would not have raced wildly in and out of cars
Subjecting unsuspecting people to my brazen recklessness
If I could go back and do it all again I would listen to more music
I would sit and listen to people who wanted to speak to me
I would not have nightmares about not listening to the one who asked
After church on a Sunday when I thought I was too busy to listen
Her last Sunday as she died the next day in a car accident
Yes if I could go back I would redo that day.
