I Would Change My Life Lyrics - Robert Earl Keen

You never liked this place where we've been livin' all along 

So you packed up your things and bought a one-way ticket home 

Leavin' never hurts as much as bein' left behind 

[Chorus] 

I would change my life 

I would make it right 

I would change my life 

If you would only change your mind 

I have spent my hours on some misbegotten dreams 

And I have spent my money on some foolish-hearted things 

And I have spent my memories on old and bitter wine 

[Chorus] 

Birds are flying south to spend the wintertime 

Skies are turning blue to gray 

The fire we started here will soon be burning down 

And it gets colder every day 

I wish that I could find the words to make you come back home 

I wish I could say the things you needed for so long 

I wish you could see me now 

Baby, then you'd find 

[Chorus:Repeat x2]
