This is a true story…
[Verse 1]
Daytime job from 8 until 5
Working hard to make my dream alive
No big money, no fancy ride
Kept workin’ hard until everything was tried
[Chorus 1]
No regrets worth keepin', no tears worth cryin'
Just a life well lived… and a whole lotta Tryin’
There’s things I wish I'd said, things I wish I'd done
But Lord Almighty, I sure had some fun
[Verse 2]
Friday night was band practice
we practiced getting drunk
That’s when dumb stuff happened
We were just stupid punks
[Chorus 2]
No regrets worth keepin', no tears worth cryin'
Just a life well lived… and a whole lotta Tryin’
There’s things I wish I'd said, things I wish I'd done
But Lord Almighty, I sure had some fun
[Bridge]
I’ve had angels, watching over me
Keeping me alive, keeping me free
Left the bottle behind, that life is past
I’ve never been this happy without going fast
[Final Chorus]
No regrets worth keepin', no tears worth cryin'
Just a life well lived… and a whole lotta Tryin’
There’s things I wish I'd said, things I wish I'd done
But Lord Almighty, I sure had some fun
Yeah… Lord Almighty… I sure had some fun
[Outro]
Miracles happen…
I’m still alive,
what a life…
