ever make a mistake
or two
you can't take back
have you

sometimes you can't back track
life cut's you no slack
ain't no goin' back
jack

said a word or two
you wish hadn't said
whata' ya' do
when that book's been read
can't get it outta' your head
man
you're dead
stan

ever do
sumpin' you wish you hadn't done
me too
ain't that a son of a gun
what's done is done
can't run
from old mistakes
ya' just takes what ya' takes

ever make a mistake
or two
me too
don't it make you blue
but whatcha' gonna' do

can't back track
life don't cut you that slack
guess there ain't no use
in lookin' back
that's just self abuse

we all make
mistakes
we all get's
what we get's
and yet's
we keep goin' on

guess
each of us
has our songs we song
gus
do or die
laugh or cry
we all
just try
to get by
with our mistakes

do whatever it takes
for life's sakes
afterall
it's only table stakes
our mistakes
