Things I Didn’t Do

© Townley/Miller


(v1)
Key in the ignition
Was a man on a mission
To turn tail lights to you and a hard truth
It would’ve been real easy
To give in to my hist’ry
And listen to those demons screamin’ go
Was one drunk reason from leavin’ the best I’ve ever known

(Chorus)

But I didn’t, when it could have gone either way
And who’s to say how my life might’ve have changed
In an instant, somethin’ you don’t do
Becomes the best thing you could’ve ever done

V1: And standing here painting this nursery blue
V2:Seeing Grandma’s smile when I walked in the room
V3:So glad I’ve had a change of heart or two

I’m thankful for some things I didn’t do

(v2)
Grandma was always askin’
To come see her in Atlanta
And I would use my job as my excuse
When she was turning eighty
Being young and lazy
I was gonna play the work card once again
Just three weeks before she took her last breath

(Chorus)

(bridge)
Could’ve taken that swing, that wrong turn
Given up or said those angry words

(Chorus)
