A Lot Of Things Different Songtext
von John Conlee

I′d spent a lot more time out in the
Pouring rain without a umbrella covering my head.
And I'da stood up to that bully when he push and
Shoved and called me names, but I was to afraid.
And I′da gone on and seen Elvis that
Night he came to town, Mama wouldn't let me.
And I'da gone skinny dippin′ with Jenny
Carson that time she dared me to, but I didn′t
Oh I'da done a lot of things different
I wish I′da spent more time with my dad When he was alive, now I don't have the chance.
And I wish I′d told my brother just how much I loved
Him before he went off to war, but I just shook his hand.
And I wish I had gone to church on those Sunday
Mornings when my Grandma begged me to, But I was scared of GOD
And I wish I had listened when they said Boy
Your going to wish you hadn't, but I wouldn′t
Ohh I'd do a lot of things different.
People say they wouldn't change a
Thing even if they could, Oh but I would


There was this red dress she wanted one time so bad
She could taste it, I should have bought it. But I didn′t.
And she wanted to paint out bedroom Yellow and trim it in
Blue and green I wouldn′t let her. It wouldn't have hurt nothin′.
She love'd to be held and kissed and
Touched, but I didn′t do it not nearly enough.
And if I had known that was going to be our last
Dance, I would have had that band play on and on and on.
I'd done a lot of things different.
People say they wouldn′t change a
Thing even if they could, Oh but I would
Yes I would, I'd a lot if things different
Oh I would I'da done a lot if things different.
