I've had choices

Since the day

I was born

There were voices

That told me

Right from wrong

If I only listened

No

I wouldn't

Be here today

Living and dying

With the choices

I've made

I was tempted

By an early age

I found

I liked drinkin'

Oh

And I never turned

It down

There were

Loved ones

But I turned

Them all away

Now I'm living

And dying

With the choices

I've made

I guess I'm payin'

For all the things

I've done

If I could

Just go back

Oh

Lord knows I'd run

But I'm still here

Losin'

This game of life

I play

Losing and dying

With the choices

I've made

I've had choices

Ever since the day

I was born

I have my own voices

That told me right

From wrong

If I had listened

No, I wouldn't be

Sitting here today

Living and dying

With the choices

I've made
