  • Half of my mistakes I've made stone cold sober
    Half of my mistakes I've made at closing time
    Half the time I never saw it coming until it was over
    Oh, and half of my mistakes I've made with love on the line

    Half of my mistakes I swear I should've known better
    Half of my mistakes were just amongst friends
    You get a little distance on it, the truth is clearer
    Oh, and half of my mistakes I'd probably make 'em again

    If I had it all to do over
    I'm sure I'd win and lose just as much
    Spend a lot less time on right and wrong
    And a lot more time on love

    Half of my mistakes I've made 'cause I was moving too quickly
    Half of them were made 'cause my heart was moving too slow
    Nobody can tell you a damn thing if you ain't listening
    Oh, and half of my mistakes I've made 'cause I couldn't let go

    If I had it all to do over
    I'm sure I'd win and lose just as much
    Spend a lot less time on right and wrong
    And a lot more time on love

    Half of my mistakes I'd give anything to change how it ended
    Oh, and half of my mistakes God, I wouldn't change one thing
    You can lean too hard on a prayer but I don't recommend it
    'Cause half the good things in my life came from half of my mistakes
    Yeah, a lot of good things in my life came from half of my mistakes Writer/s: BOBBY HOUCK, RADNEY M. FOSTER
