Troubled times, troubled mind, they find me every time
I'm drinking from the bottle, and I'm never satisfied
now they got me on the run, I'm a man without a gun
I never meant to lose control
Walk the line in single file, looks like I'll be gone a while
I traded in the bottle for a bag of homemade wine
and I think of what I could have been, will I make it home
and what have I become?
Will I ever learn my lesson
I'm doing time as I've already mentioned
I wish I was home helping you in the kitchen
singing a song because I know you would listen
Lost my control when the finally found me
counted up my reasons that I had to be happy
Got no use for drinking, so I forfeit the whiskey
ain't no better time to think about what I could have been
and what I have become, and who I should be
well what can I say
Will I ever learn my lesson

ain't no better time to think about what I could have been
