I Would Change My Life Robert Earl Keen

[Verse 1]
You never liked this place where we've been living all along
So you packed up your things and bought a one-way ticket home
Leaving never hurts as much as being left behind

[Chorus]
I would change my life
I would make it right
I would change my life
If you would only change your mind

[Verse 2]
I have spent my hours on some misbegotten dreams
And I have spent my money on some foolish-hearted things
And I have spent my memories on old and bitter wine

[Chorus]
I would change my life
I would make it right
I would change my life
If you would only change your mind

[Bridge]
Birds are flying south to spend the wintertime
Skies are turning blue to gray
The fire we started here will soon be burning down
And it gets colder every day
