If I Could Live My Life Again - Richard Thompson

Well, you know, I can’t do nothing for you

And you know, I say my piece and then

I pound the pavement always wishing

Whether I would live my life again

Will I raise some Cain and sink some whiskey

Or ramble like I’m anything

There’s arms I’ve held and hearts I’ve broken

Oh if I could live my life again

Oh I hate the four walls of this prison

Those cowards let me take the blame

Next time I’ll run with better company

Oh if I could live my life again

And you know, true love slipped through my fingers

Somehow, I never could explain

Next time, I’ll say just what I’m thinking

Oh if I could live my life again

I wish my sins could be forgiven

And that’s why I sing this sad refrain

Just one more chance is all I’m asking

Oh if I could live my life again

Oh if I could live my life again
