YOUNG BOY LONG TIME AGO
OUT ON HIS GRANDPA'S FARM
HE WAS WRONG..STOLE A DOLLAR
OUT OF HIS GRANDPA'S OLE MONEY JAR
HIS GRANDPA CAUGHT HIM ..
HE WAS SCARED TO DEATH
SAID HE WAS SORRY AND HE APOLOGIZED
GRANDPA SAID NO NEED TO WORRY
JUST A LESSON LEARNED IN LIFE..........

(CHORUS)

HE FORGAVE HIM WAY BACK THEN
SAID DON'T FORGET THIS ONE LITTLE PART
SAYING YOU'RE SORRY WON'T ALWAYS WORK
"TRYING TO MEND A BROKEN HEART"

TEENAGE YEARS SEEMED SO LONG
HE COULDN'T WAIT TO BECOME A MAN
SO HE RAN AWAY FROM HOME
GOD YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN HIS MOM AND DAD
HE SAID HE WAS SORRY WITH TEARS IN HIS EYES
AND YOU KNOW THEY BOTH SAID IT WOULD BE OKAY
I'VE OFTEN WONDERED, HOW MUCH HE HURT
HIS MOM AND DAD THAT DAY...
______________________________________________________________________

THEY FORGAVE HIM WAY BACK THEN
BUT HE FORGOT THAT ONE LITTLE PART
SAYIN'G YOU'RE SORRY WON'T ALWAYS WORK
"TRYING TO MEND A BROKEN HEART"
(REPEAT CHORUS)
_______________________________________________________________________


TEN YEARS LATER.ONE DARK NIGHT
HE WRECKED HIS BRAND NEW PICKUP TRUCK...
LOST HIS DAUGHTER AND HIS WIFE
GOD THEY SAID HE WAS REALLY DRUNK...
SAID HE WAS SORRY AND HOW HE CRIED
BUT THE DOCTOR SAID IT WAS TOO LATE
AND ALL AT ONCE HE REALIZED
WHAT HIS GRANDPA MEANT THAT DAY

(REPEAT 1ST CHORUS....AND TAG)
