From the recording Colt Covington - EP
Lyrics
I've spent most days writing songs about my life
Love gone wrong, life on the road and whiskey nights
Spent my youth making promises I could never keep
Over and over like a record on repeat
But the mirror don't lie when it stares you down
The soundtrack of my life is missing so much now
When I was young, my biggest regrets
Were things that I did and thought I'd never forget
The bridges burned, roads I never chose
Every beautiful girl whose heart I broke
But as the years roll on, I've changed my tune
Longing for dreams that I never pursued
As I get older my biggest regrets are in the notes
Of the Songs I Never Wrote
Should’ve chased that dream past the county line
Should’ve told that girl I loved her a few more times
Didn't care that I was all about the chase
Yeah I wrote a few verses I wish I could erase
Now as time moves on man I just can't hide
From all the emptiness in those missing lines
When I was young, my biggest regrets
Were things that I did and thought I'd never forget
The bridges burned, roads I never chose
Every beautiful girl whose heart I broke
But as the years roll on, I've changed my tune
Longing for dreams that I never pursued
As I get older my biggest regrets are in the notes
Of the Songs I Never Wrote
So I'm gonna love when I know it feels true
And I’m saying yes to a dream or two
And when I'm gone I hope they all can say
That he was able to give his heart away
When I was young, my biggest regrets
Were things that I did and thought I'd never forget
The bridges burned, roads I never chose
Every beautiful girl whose heart I broke
But as the years roll on, I've changed my tune
Longing for dreams that I never pursued
As I get older my biggest regrets are in the notes
Of the Songs I Never Wrote
