Mistakes

The sky’s the limit
Man, you need a permit to fly this high
You better learn from your mistakes
Or the cost will bleed you dry
As my guitar plays softly to the music
And my heart is beating faster
Than a wild horse out on the run
This time, I hold a smoking gun
Yes, I do
Here’s to mistakes I’ve made
Here’s to mistakes I might
Here’s to chance to take
Here’s to givin' one more try
There’s things I do, there’s things I say
Sometimes I bend, sometimes I break
Someone paid a hell of a cost
Just to keep me from gettin' lost
Somewhere along the way
Gonna make a stand
Be a better man with a calmer hand
Put the things down I don’t need
And never pick 'em up again
I’m like a pine tree swayin'
Back and forth when the breeze is blowin'
And my mind is racin' faster
Gets goin' like an old kick drum
This time, I’ve got my dreams on the run
Yes, I do
Here’s to mistakes I’ve made
Here’s to mistakes I might
Here’s to chance to take
Here’s to givin' one more try
There’s things I do, there’s things I say
Sometimes I bend, sometimes I break
Someone paid a hell of a cost
Just to keep me from gettin' lost
Somewhere along the way
Stones have been skipped
Sticks have been thrown
Know what I reap is just what I sow
Here’s to mistakes I’ve made
Here’s to mistakes I might
Here’s to chance to take
Here’s to givin' one more try
There’s things I do, there’s things I say
Sometimes I bend, sometimes I break
Someone paid a hell of a cost
Just to keep me from gettin' lost
Somewhere along the way
Somewhere along the way
