[Verse 1]
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 1st mistake I ever made

[Chorus]
I was born to a lonely women 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 1st mistake I have made

[Verse 2]
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 1st mistake I ever made

[Bridge]
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 1st mistake I have made
[Chorus]
I was born to a lonely women 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 1st mistake I have made
