Lyrics: Jerry Jeff Walker. If I'd Loved You Then.

Jerry Jeff Walker

Well, I'm not the kind of man who sits and complains
I've always been the kind of man who likes to take a chance
I have lived my life to the fullest, I have no regrets
Most of the time I feel I've had the best of it

Chorus:
But I see life's a one way street, you walk along, before too long
You look back and see what you believe just might be wrong
But every now and then I think about what might have been
I wonder how good life would have been if I'd loved you then

Well, I would never take back my wild oats for anything
But I was ready the day we exchanged our wedding rings
I had done all I could do alone, oh, I needed you
And I've found out true love brings out the best in you


Chorus

And every day I think it can't get better than this
But love is always changing as we learn to give
I love you more than ever before and it just dawned on me
The longer I love you the more that you will mean to me

Chorus
