AUTHOR: Jason & Traci TITLE: Half of my mistakes DATE: 5/09/2006 10:26:00 AM ----- BODY:

There has been a reoccuring theme in my life over the last few days: Regrets. I had a conversation with a friend about the ever popular statement, "If I had it to do over again...". On my Google homepage I found this article waiting for me this morning. A preacher reminded me recently to worry for nothing, but pray about all things. And finally, last night Radney Foster offered the following words of wisdom.

Half of My Mistakes written by Radney Foster

Half of my mistakes I made stone cold sober

Half of my mistakes I made at closing time

Half the time I never saw it coming till it was over

Half of my mistakes I made with love on the line

Half of my mistakes I swear I should've known better

Half of my mistakes were made just among friends

You get a little distance on it, truth gets clearer

Half of my mistakes, hell I'd probably make 'em again

CHORUS

If I had it all to do over, I'm sure I'd win and lose just as much

But I'd spend a lot less time on right and wrong

And a lot more time on love

Half of my mistakes I made cause I was moving too quickly

Half of them were made cause my heart moved too slow

Nobody can tell you a damn thing if you ain't listening

Half of my mistakes I made because I couldn't let go

CHORUS TWICE

Half of my mistakes I'd give anything to change how it ended

Half of my mistakes, God I wouldn't change a single thing

You can lean to hard on regret, but I don't recommend it

Cause half the good things in my life came from half of my mistakes

Yeah, a lot of good things in my life came from half of my mistakes
