AGAIN

Intro

Verse 1 If they gave me back my twenty With these eighty-year-old eyes I'd spend less time chasing money Spend more watching summer skies I'd call my mother every Sunday Even when we disagreed I'd ask my father why he hardened Before the earth answered for me I'd leave some doors unopened I'd walk through others fast Funny what looks important When you're looking from the last

Chorus If I could live it again I'd lose a little slower Love a little louder Know when something good was good I'd waste less time being right Hold my children one year longer I'd change a thousand things But I'd still find you Again

Instrumental

Verse 2 I'd quit that job in '87 The one that cost me half my son I'd take the trip we kept postponing Before your mother's time was done I'd tell my brother I forgave him Before pride outlived us both I'd stop saving all the good words For a man beside a stone I'd drink less when I was hurting I'd listen when you cried And every time I said “tomorrow” I'd know tomorrow sometimes lies But I'd buy that rusted Chevy I'd still take that Texas road I'd still kiss you in that doorway Knowing everything I know I'd still make enough mistakes To become the man you knew Maybe I don't want a better life Just more of it with you If I could live it again I'd lose a little slower Love a little louder Stay when younger me would've run I'd forgive before the funeral I'd say the words before they're gone I'd change a thousand things But not the road That brought me home And when I reached this old chair With your picture in my hand I'd smile knowing I'd choose you Again Again
