Lyrics


We were sippin' on our beers, when he slid next to me
He said son, I bet you got yourself a family,
Waiting back at home, but everything I own,
Is in my pick up truck

He said I haven't seen my boy since he was nine or ten
Been on the road for years heading down dead ends
Getting through the day, Searching for a way,
To say that I was wrong

I put my own ambition before love
Too busy trying to chase a million bucks
Took my cares and conscience on the run
Livin' night to night, town to town and club to club
But I don't think anybody ever missed me much
Cause I wasn't there, even when I was

I wasn't cheering from the bleachers at his Little League
Didn't find the time for algebra or history
Could've made more love, gave a few more hugs
And a little less overtime

CHORUS

And I said mister everybody makes mistakes in life
I guess the man upstairs gives us a chance to make it right
Like you did for me tonight
So excuse me Sir while I step outside and call my wife

Been putting my own ambition before love
Too busy trying to chase a million bucks
Took my cares and conscience on the run
But tonight's the night I'm coming home, what's done is done
Girl I wish I could go back and start at one
And start making up for all those times I wasn't there
Even when I was, even when I was
