    Chorus:
    If I had a dime for half the things I did
    That didn't make no sense at all
    I'd be living a little higher on the hog
    If only I'd've known that later on down the road
    I'd look back and not like what I see
    I'd've changed a lot of things
    Starting with me

    You tell it brother... Im 44, singer/songwriter/guitarist. Been drinking and partying for all my life. Got sober for 7 years, fell off. Got worse. 4 DUIs, high speed chases etc. In Kansas City. Spent 2 years behind bars, still struggled after I got out. Christmas day was 90 days... Again... Spent Christmas alone. Pushed out everyone in my life who cared for me, but made it thru the holidays sober. Got a great job with an old business acquaintance and things are awesome. God is great! Keep it up

    • @tylerw1418
      @tylerw1418 5 років тому +3

      The reason is because the industry slowly wants all music to sound the same so the can easily pick the artists who matches that and spend little money advertising and they will be popular. All about money.

    We all live with regrets from things we have done in our younger years. It is part of maturing as a Man or a Woman. Every day is a blank canvas and we can paint it any way we want...The more mistakes we have made and learned from, just makes the picture you paint today much more refined and beautiful. Those who are truly blessed have the opportunity to get things right in their lives before its to late for your loved ones to see.

      Harley Horman That part of this song makes me cry and need a big hug really bad. My late grandmother died during my senior year of high school. I miss her so much even still to this day. And even though I am a Christian, there are many things that I wish I could go back and undo, including something really bad that I did that cost me my job back in January of 2014. From me to the man who owns my old job, if you ever come across this video and read this post of mine, I beg and plea for your forgiveness for what I did. I promise you (for the rest of my life) that I didn't mean to do what I did back then, even though what I did was inappropriate. I still and forever will accept full responsibility for said mistake. Even if I can't return to work there, at least forgive me as a man for it.

      I'm afraid you got it backwards.
      Read the 12 steps of A.A., especially #8 and #9.
      It's not about what others owe you, but what you owe others regarding your addiction.
      I respect tremendously someone who's gotten clean & sober.
      Congratulations on that.
      Peace.

      Addictions can be beat in different ways. The 12 step program doesn't work for everyone that's why they keep relapsing. People have to find other healthy things to take the place of their Addictions. If someone finds something that they're passionate about they have the best chance of successfully beating the Addiction. I dreaded going to 12 step meetings. So i became passionate about hiking and exercising. You should always support someone morally. Just be there to talk to them. It doesn't mean supplying them with money.

    I use to believe there was a black cloud that hung above me. I've spent my entire life fighting every demon possible it seems. I grew up in two homes full of chaos in and out of jail and psychiatric hospitals. Fathered a child that i thought was mine, became a alcoholic, and always struggle with love. If you're not careful your struggles with life can have you question everything about it and you lose sight of anything that can make you happy. I found out that I was the black cloud that hovered above me.

    There are many who still are raised on that, I've never gotten anything without working for it, it has taught me the values of life and I never take anything for granted. I've worked hard since I was 14 years old, and before I got work I was tidying and doing stuff to get my pocket money. Fabulous way to live, I may of thought it hard back then but it has taught me so much now I am an adult!

      Nick Denash that hurts me to the the core just to hear you say and admit to it. My ex-girlfriend and I lost a child back in high school miscarriage. We spilt not long after that she had a bad temper and she abused me from the start of our relationship a year prior to the miscarriage. The pain of the loss still hurts but I think God knew it was for the best she was not mothering material I wasn’t ready to a dad at that age and time of my also I think God knew that and did the right thing for the both of us I blamed God for a while I asked for forgiveness and I forgave him about a year later I still feel the loss of the child to this day she was 6 and half months pregnant at the time this was back in early 2003 last half of my junior year of high school. I can feel your pain.

    And in this moment of realization the choice is left up to you on what you do with your future. Continue down the same road and continue to not like the person staring back at you or begin to make the changes necessary to be the very best version of yourself. Go knowing that I supported the change. Wanted the change. Saw all that you could and should be. Que Sera Sera.

  • @bornfree8073

    Wow! I thought I could look though the comments and feel some relief knowing im not the only one who feels like shit and relate with someone who some how is always being in trouble and fucking everything up. But, I guess this is youtube and most who comment here probably dont live a party life style. If I could just go back and pick a different road. Maybe it would be different, but if you know how it feels, then you also know its not the roads that leads you here. Its you, its who you are. I'd guess most people who get the stinglying feeling in thier stomach; probably had a hard childhood that pushed them away and taught them that you get hurt alot less out in the cold. The only thing that it doesnt teach you is everything your missing out on. Spending holiday with your family, knowing how to accept and feel emotions, being in serious relationships, or having someone there for you when you need it. Then after a while you get use to being out in the cold and you get so use to it that you dont know any other way. You didnt think it was permitt but from my experience its hard to come in from the cold when you been out there so long. I dont mean lonely, most who like this song probably have tons of friends. By lonley I mean have no one you can fully trust and no one to share your emotions with. But, I think everybody has atleast one person they dont deserve. I know i do and I dont think someone could have a worse family setting. Idk where to go from here it seems pointless to keep writing. Its nice to vent but you cant really understand the story unless you heard the whole thing. All i know is that sometimes its hard to come in from the cold when you been there so long. So if there any young adults aka kid aka 15 year olds who think that pushing everyone away is the answer please Dont let your self get that way. Its hard to come in from the cold.

      Been sick most my life, it has affected my thinking and ability to do things. My family pulled away now I have nothing but a cat and dog. Had a little boy but I have no son. Had a grandaughter but she has 4 other grandmas who aren't sick and flakey. Married in my 20's--my 20's were my marrying years and divorcing times. Now in my mid 60's is my alone times, my lonely years. I'm dying now from cancer and diabetes and pain. But its the lonliness that eats you up inside. The knowing no one in the world loves you, but Jesus. Its heart wrenching. Visit your folks, your people, while they are still alive. In all things, be kind. Keep in mind, 30 minutes of your time could save someones life or just make their day a happy one. Its your call.

    @bprompitak 10 років тому +15

    I had a one night stand with my best friend's baby sister
    And to this day he still won't speak to me
    I pawned my grandpa's old guitar in collage
    For a case of beer and a tank of gasoline
    I took a swing at my old man one Christmas
    I never dreamed that it would be his last
    I wish mom had rung my neck when she caught me with those cigarettes
    Which reminds me, I'm down to my last pack
    If I had a dime for half the things I did
    That didn't make no sense at all, I'd be living a little higher on the hall
    If only I'd've known that later on down the road
    I'd look back and not like what I see
    I'd've changed a lot of things startin' with me
    I called my brother everything I could think of
    The night he wouldn't bail me out of jail
    I lost a job most folks 'round here would die for
    By laying out all night and raising hell
    And I let a woman that I love slip through my fingers
    Chalk another dumb move up to my foolish pride
    I was in there standin' by the bed when the preacher bowed his head
    With the family, the day my grandma die
    If I had a dime for half the things I did
    That didn't make no sense at all, I'd be living a little higher on the hall
    If only I'd've known that later on down the road
    I'd look back and not like what I see
    Ohh, I'd've changed a lot of things startin' with me
    If only I'd've known that later on down the road
    I'd look back and not like what I see
    Ohh, I'd've changed a lot of things startin' with me
    Startin' with me
