My mom always told meMy mama always told me
Son, you should take it easy on that pathSon, you'd best go easy down that road
And she said she was sorryAnd she said she was sorry
For all the times she couldn't save my soulFor all the times she couldn't save my soul

Should have listened to her advice a little moreShoulda listened to her words a little more
Before I packed up and walked right out that doorBefore I packed up and I walked right out that door

Dad always told meDaddy always told me
Son, you better love as much as you canSon, you'd better love the best you can
And don't look back with regretAnd don't look back and be sorry
These moments won't come around againThese moments won't be comin' 'round again

But I feel like I could conquer the whole worldBut I feel like I could conquer the whole world
When I look up and see those three little girlsWhen I look up and see those three little girls

But I get lost, can't find my wayBut I get lost, I can't find my way
All my pieces put together for the world to seeAll my pieces glued together for the world to see
Mistakes I've made, consumed by someMistakes I've made, consumed by some
Till there's nothing left of me when all is said and doneTill there's nothing left of me when all is said and done

Now a preacher once told meNow a preacher man once told me
Son, I'm not sure you can be savedSon, I'm not so sure you can be saved
And he said: Life is full of choicesAnd he said: Life is full of choices
And he sees all the bad ones you've madeAnd he sees all the bad ones that you've made

And I said yeah, you're right, I'll probably go to hellAnd I said yeah, you're right, I'll probably go to hell
But damn all the stories I can tellBut goddamn all the stories I can tell

'Cause I'm so lost, can't find my way'Cause I'm so lost, I can't find my way
All my pieces put together for the world to seeAll my pieces glued together for the world to see
Mistakes I've made, consumed by someMistakes I've made, consumed by some
Till there's nothing left of me when all is said and doneTill there's nothing left of me when all is said and done
