Regret is Just a Memory, Written on the Brow.

I('ve) Got a Long List of Real Good Reasons...
for all the things that I('ve) done.
I('ve) got a picture in the back of my mind
of what I('ve) lost and what I('ve) won.

I('ve) survived every situation,
knowing when to freeze and when to run,
and regret is just a memory written on my brow
cuz there's nothing I can do about it now...

I've got a wild and a restless spirit.
I held my price through every deal.
I've seen the fire of a woman scorned,
turn her heart of gold to steel...

I('ve) got the song of the voice inside me,
set to the rhythm of the wheel.
 I('ve) been dreaming like a child
since the cradle broke the bough,
and there's nothing I can do about it now...

Running through the changes, going through the stages
Coming round the corners in my life
Leaving doubt to fate, staying out too late
Waiting for the moon to say goodnight...

Yes I could cry for the time I('ve) wasted,
but that's a waste of time and tears...
Well I know just what I'd change, if went back in time somehow,
but there's nothing I can do about it now...
