lyrics

when i was 16 or somewhere in my sophomore year
i started smoking cigarettes, baby i was drinking beer
i had my life plan sussed, knew what i was gonna do
bought a gun and decided to end it over you

well my pa, he loved me so much, he bailed me out of jail
so i could lift 100 dollars off of him, had a plan that couldn’t fail
drove down from carolina to georgia for the night
felt more out of place there, I’ll never get it right

the places where you offered me your hand

father, I should have taken it then

26 years old and abusive to my wife
i remember high school, yeah I think that I turned out alright
got a tattoo on my bed in memory of my mother
'cause living a better life was too much of a bother

the places where you offered me your hand

mother, I should have taken it then

36 years old and dying of some strange disease
i wrote to my brothers, hoping they would come and visit me
nobody ever came except for when they put me in the ground
i died an old ugly man, alone and sad without a friend around

the places where you offered me your hand

brothers, I should have taken it then

the places where you offered me your hand

are the only places I’ll regret
