If I'd Been Younger

Words and Music by Dan Covington

She dropped me off at the car lot
I sat in silence in her car
She tried to tell me she’s oh so sorry
I would not ???

She cried I love you please forgive me
I said don’t worry that’s not to be
I’ll not be sorry in this lifetime
For the love the girl gave to me

She leaned her head up against my shoulder
A tear fell from her eye
In between the sobbing and the tear drops
I kissed her softly and said goodbye

And now I’m driving down the highway
Miles are swiftly passing by
And as I’m cruising I’m a-cussing
I wish to God she was by my side

Oh sweet baby do you remember
A night hour we spent together
I just can’t help but drive and wonder
If it’ve been different if i’d been younger

She leaned her head up against my shoulder
A tear fell from her eye
In between the sobbing and the tear drops
I kissed her softly and said goodbye

And now I’m driving down the highway
Miles are swiftly passing by
And as I’m cruising I’m a-cussing
I wish to God she was by my side

Oh sweet baby do you remember
The night hour we spent together
I just can’t help but drive and wonder
Would it’ve been different if i’d been younger
