Robert Earl Keen Lyrics
"I Would Change My Life"

You never liked this place that we've been livin' all along
So you packed up your things and bought a one way ticket home
Leavin' never hurts as much as bein' left behind

I would change my life, I would make it right
I would change my life if you would only change your mind

I have spent my hours on some misbegotten dreams
And I have spent my money on some foolish hearted things
And I have spent my memories on old and bitter wine

I would change my life, I would make it right
I would change my life if you would only change your mind

Birds are flyin' south to spend the wintertime
Skies are turning blue to gray
The fire we started here will soon be burnin' down
And it gets colder everyday

I wish that I could find the words to make you come back home
I wish that I could say the things you needed for so long
I wish that you could see me now
Baby, then you'd find

I would change my life, I would make it right
I would change my life if you would only change your mind

I would change my life, I would make it right
I would change my life if you would only change your mind
