lyrics

It took me thirty years in this industry
To admit that it's no place for family
You can ask my first two wives about that

‘Cause I spend more nights on hotel sheets
My friends have learned not to count on me
For anything but Christmas cards and texts

But it didn't always used to be this way
There just came a time when we had bills to pay
I was ready then to sign my life away
Hoping it would all pay off someday

Anyone who says they live without regrets
They just haven't been tested yet
They just haven't been tested yet
‘Cause you don't know the meaning of sacrifice
'Til you've got this hollow look inside your eyes
I'm not afraid to die
I did that years ago
I did it all for the ones I love
I just hope someday they'll know

Are you thirsty, kid? I've got this round
We've known each other a while now
If memory serves, you started here in June

I'd like to know what you want from life
I can tell you now what I got from mine
I rode ambition like a bull 'til it knocked me loose

Put myself through school on the GI bill
A company man living on goodwill
Didn't know how to feed a family but I had to try

I never found that balance dad told me to keep
He always knew when I went out too deep
But the year we lost him I got taken by the tide

I started dreaming that my teeth were falling out
Breaking promises that I made to myself
Always said if it got bad then I'd get out
Now I'm feeling out of place in my own house

Anyone who says they live without regrets
They just haven't been tested yet
They just haven't been tested yet
‘Cause you don't know the meaning of sacrifice
'Til you've got this hollow look inside your eyes
I'm not afraid to die
I did that years ago
I did it all for the ones I love
Now they won't pick up the phone

Always thought when I got older, I could make up for lost time
But as the top of the hourglass empties out, I'm starting to realize
There's not one laugh left in my lungs
So kid, hold on to what you love
Promise me
Promise me

'Cause I don't want you to live with these regrets
You haven't been ruined yet
You haven't been ruined yet
You've got the chance to learn from my mistakes
It don't have to be this way
It don't have to be this way
I'm not afraid to die
I did that years ago
But you hold onto the ones you love
Don't you ever let them go
Promise me
Promise me
