Make Things Right

Slipped off the tracks,

Face hit the ground.

Left all alone,

Ain't no one around.

I know,

I'm heartbroke,

Just like a sad song.

But every one that I hear reminds me you're gone.

Your daddy told me if I came back,

His thirty-thirty sitting right up on the gun rack.

And I was thinking that maybe you might have called ma.

She told me,

"Baby, I don't wanna get involved."

I know what I done,

It hurts so bad.

And I'd give anything if I could go back.

Small town boy,

But you already know that.

Life started coming at me so fast.

I get so mad,

I gotta ride off.

I wanna stop by,

But would you even talk? Last chance,

Can't be the last fight.

I just gotta,

Baby, can we maybe try to make things right?

You ain't gotta cut me off,

Hang up the phone every time I call.

Baby, without you I'm lost,

Was it really all my fault? And I just wanna make things right,

Only wanna make things right.

I just wanna make things right,

Tonight,

Tonight.

Now for the first time,

In a long time,

I was up with a pen before the sunshine.

And there's an emptiness inside when you ain't near.

And it's hot outside but there's a cold front here.

And it don't really even gotta be like this.

Girl, you seen my fears and you looked like this.

I was standing on the porch when the sun came creeping

thinking 'bout yesterday and that Mustang leaving.

Damn,

And I ain't gonna beg you back.

I just sit there and laughed as you grabbed your bags.

And I watched you disappear while I throwed back beer.

It was all she could do just to hold back tears.

A tear's worth a thousand words when it's done right,

a song is a thousand tears when it's sung right,

I lost the love of my life because I didn't try.

All I wanna do is just make things right tonight.

[2x:]

You ain't gotta cut me off,

Hang up the phone every time I call.

Baby, without you I'm lost,

Was it really all my fault? And I just wanna make things right,

Only wanna make things right.

I just wanna make things right,

Tonight,

Tonight.
