Lyrics

The 1st Mistake I Ever Made

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I ain't got no claim to nothing,

I don't mess with anyone,

I walk my way

Living in a masquerade.

And one day i looked behind me

At all the things i've done,

That's the first mistake

I ever made.

I was born to a lonely woman

In a town called buffalo.

Never knew the man

Who never stayed.

With my 12-string on my back

I discovered every track,

That's the first mistake

I ever made.

With a million hearts i've broken.

I never kept the score.

Memories of good love

Hate to stay.

But i still remember someone

Who loved me so much more,

That's the first mistake

I ever made.

So, when nothing's worth the living

And in the night i look above.

Prayed, about a million times

I prayed.

I know my story ended

When i lost my only love,

That's the first mistake

I ever made.

I was born to a lonely woman

In a town called buffalo.

Never knew the man

Who never stayed.

With my 12-string on my back

I discovered every track,

That's the first mistake

I ever made.
