Riding With My Regrets

I was taking in the sunshine,
Thinking bout my hopeless tomorrows,
When Billy drove up in his chevy truck,
Bottle of wine and two Dixie cups.
He flashed me a hillbilly smile and said,
Hey Baby, ain’t you sweet.

I jumped off the front porch swing,
barefoot wearing my old blue jeans.
I stubbed my toe, tripped over my old cat,
Billy laughed and said, how about that,
Get in Baby Let's go for a ride.

I heard the screen door slam, when Daddy ran out with his old shotgun. My heart was racing when I waved goodbye. Billy put the pedal to the metal, slipped his hand on my knee, turned up the radio, and passed me a funny cigarette. And that’s when I said hello to new regrets.

Oh, just like when Bonnie, met Clyde would I have taken that ride if I knew how it all would end. Now just like Bonnie, I bet on the wrong horse, made the wrong turn, came up short, took it too far, fell from grace and I’m riding with my regrets.

Two years later and a stack of bills, A hole in the roof and I’m listening to the rain, Baby in my arms and one on the way,
And Just where, is he tonight?
Oh, just like when Bonnie, met Clyde would I have taken that ride if I knew how it all would end. Now just like Bonnie, I bet on the wrong horse, made the wrong turn, came up short, took it too far, fell from grace and I’m riding with my regrets.

Now I’m sitting on the back of a greyhound bus,
With my pride in my hat and down to my last buck,
If I get home I ain't gonna’ stray no more,
No, I ain't gonna’ stray no more.

Oh, just like when Bonnie, met Clyde would I have taken that ride if I knew how it all would end. Now just like Bonnie, I bet on the wrong horse, made the wrong turn, came up short, took it too far, fell from grace and I’m riding with my regrets.
