It Don't Take But One Mistake Lyrics - Hank Williams Jr.

It don't take but one mistake and you can lose every take 

No it don't take but one mistake and I'm the only one there is to blame 

As I sit here with this mem'ry and a bottle to hold 

I'm no longer a man just the body and soul 

Lord I think back when my life at one time was so complete 

Back then I'd never known of a hurt this deep 

Once I had a loving wife and kids who kissed me when I came home 

Then I made just one mistake and now everything I had is gone 

If I hadn't been drinkin' so much that night and made 'em let me drive 

I know they'd all still be here with me smilin' and happy and so alive 

Now that night we'd celebrated cause it was our 10th wedding anniversary 

all of our friends was there and as usually the drinks was free 

And after we picked up the kids at night I guess my eyes were dimmed by the wine 

I heard the horn blowin' but Lord I didn't see no stop sign 

No it don't take but one mistake...
