They say life is only what you make it
Well mine's been made up mostly of regret
I've got scars across my heart that look a lot like prison bars
And a life of pain I can't seem to forget
I'm twenty-five but feel closer to fifty
I've got an aching in my soul that just might kill me
I've run away when I should've stayed, broken hearts that I could've saved
And lost it all when I should've walked away
And I've been a ramblin' man
I've been a winner on the loosing end
I've worn holes in the soles of these boots on my feet from all the wondering
And I've taken my life for granted
Again and again
And watch it wash away like the sand on the bank when the tide rolls in
And I'm still wonderin'
It's like the rain falling down from the clouds
While the sun's still shining on the ground
Both are great in their own ways
And people pray for them everyday
But when they come together something just ain't right
These days that's the way my life is turning
Like I ain't worth a damn but still I'm meant for something
I've got a heart that just won't break
It's had about all that it can take
And some days I don't even feel a thing
And I've been a ramblin' man
I've been a winner on the loosing end
I've worn holes in the soles of these boots on my feet from all the wondering
And I've taken my life for granted
Again and again
And watch it wash away like the sand on the bank when the tide rolls in
Yeah i've been a ramblin' man
I've been a winner on the loosing end
I've worn holes in the soles of these boots on my feet from all the wondering
And I've taken my life for granted
Again and again
And watch it wash away like the sand on the bank when the tide rolls in
And I'm still wonderin'
They say life is only what you make it
Well mine's been made up mostly of regret
