Half of my mistakes I made stone cold sober Half of my mistakes I've made at closing time Half the time I never saw it coming until it was over Oh, and half of my mistakes I've made with love on the line. Half of my mistakes I should've known better Half of my mistakers were just amongst friends You get a little distance on it, the truth is clearer Oh, and half of my mistakes, I'd probably make 'em again. If I had it all to do over I'm sure I'd win and lose just as much but spend less time on the right and wrong And a lot more time on love. Half of my mistakes I've made 'cause I was movin' too quickly Half of them were made 'cause my heart was movin' too slow Nobody can tell you a damn thing if you ain't listening Oh, and half of my mistakes I've made 'cause I couldn't let go. If I had it all to do over I'm sure I'd win and lose just as much but spend less time on the right and wrong And a lot more time on love. Half of my mistakes I'd give anything to change how it ended Oh, and half of my mistakes, God, I wouldn't change one thing you can lean too hard on a prayer but I don't recommend it Cause half the good things in my life came from half of my mistakes. Yeah, a lot of good things in my life came from half of my mistakes
