[Verse 1]
I stole a pack of gum from Edward's Grocery
And broke my mama's heart droppin' outta school
I wrecked my daddy's truck down at the mill branch
To this day he still don't know the truth

[Chorus]
More than a time or two I've had one too many
And I've blown a last chance more times than a few
Left a trail of bad decisions clear from here to Tennessee
But the worst thing I ever did, I let a damn good woman leave

[Verse 2]
I spent some time in the Calhoun County Jailhouse
Spent a couple of nights with a girl that wasn't mine
One bad night cost me a job at Goodyear
I guess these old broke-in boots can't walk a line

[Chorus]
Yeah, more than a time or two I've had one too many
And I've blown my last chance more times than a few
Left a trail of bad decisions clear from here to Tennessee
But the worst thing I ever did, I let a damn good woman leave

[Post-Chorus]
I let a damn good woman leave
[Bridge]
I guess you never learn if you never live
But there's still one thing I've done I can't forgive

[Chorus]
More than a time or two I've had one too many
And I've blown my last chance more times than a few
Left a trail of bad decisions clear from here to Tennessee
But the worst thing I ever did, I let a damn good woman leave

[Post-Chorus]
I let a damn good woman leave

[Outro]
I let a damn good woman leave (Let a damn good woman leave)
