A Lot Of Things Different Lyrics by Bill Anderson

A Lot Of Things Different

2001

[Verse 1]
I'd have spent a lot more time out in the pouring rain
Without an umbrella covering my head
And I'd have stood up to that bully when he pushed and shoved
And called me names but I was too afraid
[Verse 2]
And I'd have gone on and seen Elvis that night
He came to town and Mama said I couldn't
And I'd have gone skinny-dipping with Jenny Carson
That time she dared me to and I didn't
[Refrain]
Oh, I, I'd-a done a lot of things different
[Verse 3]
I wish I'd have spent more time with my dad when he was alive
Now I don't have the chance
And I wish I had told my brother just how much I loved him
Before he went off to war, but I just shook his hand
[Verse 4]
And I wish I'd gone to church on Sunday mornings
When my grandma begged me to, but I was scared of God
And I wish I woulda listened when they said
"Boy you're gonna wish you had," but I wouldn't
[Refrain]
Oh, I, I'd do a lot of things different
[Chorus]
People say they wouldn't change a thing
Even if they could, oh, but I would
[Verse 5]
There was this red dress she wanted one time
So bad she could taste it, I should have bought it but I didn't
And she wanted to paint our bedroom yellow and trim it in blues and greens
And I wouldn't let her, wouldn't have hurt nothing
[Verse 6]
Oh, and she loved to be held and kissed and touched
But I didn't do it, not nearly enough
And if I'd-a known that was going to be our last dance
I'd have told the band to play on and on and on and on and on
[Refrain]
I'd-a done a lot of things different
[Chorus]
People say they wouldn't change a thing
Even if they could, oh, but I would
[Outro]
Yes, I, I'd do a lot of things different
Oh, I, I'd-a done a lot of things different
