"What I Wouldn't Do" lyrics

"What I Wouldn't Do"

The proof is in the whiskey and the champagne in your hand
You smilin' in that picture's got me thinkin' about the damn
I didn't give
And how I let a good thing slip
Right through my hands
If I could do it all again

I wouldn't stand there on the porch
With you and your 4Runner runnin'
I wouldn't call your bluff when you packed it up
Said, I shoulda seen it comin'
I wouldn't watch that cloud of dust
And just keep on actin' tough
I wouldn't tell my friends, "It's all good now
I got more time for fishing."
I wouldn't need an empty bed
To know how bad I miss you in it
No, I don't know how to make it up to you
But I damn sure know just what I wouldn't do

The list of reasons why she's gone is longer than this tab
My mama's still mad at me, I'm still kickin' myself for that
'Cause I know she's always right. I messed it up good, didn't I?
I shoulda bought the ring
And did the thing damn thing
Yeah, if I could hit "Rewind"

I wouldn't stand there on the porch
With you and your 4Runner runnin'
I wouldn't call your bluff when you packed it up
Said, I shoulda seen it comin'
I wouldn't watch that cloud of dust
And just keep on actin' tough
I wouldn't tell my friends, "It's all good now
I got more time for fishing."
I wouldn't need an empty bed
To know how bad, I miss you in it
No, I don't know how to make it up to you
But I damn sure know just what I wouldn't do

To stop those goodbye tears from fallin'
Get those bags out of the car and
Your clothes back in the closet

I wouldn't stand there on the porch
With you and your 4Runner runnin'
I wouldn't call your bluff when you packed it up
Said, I shoulda seen it comin'
I wouldn't watch that cloud of dust
And just keep on actin' tough
I wouldn't tell my friends, "It's all good now
I got more time for fishing."
I wouldn't need an empty bed
To know how bad, I miss you in it
No, I don't know how to make it up to you
But I damn sure know just what I wouldn't do

Yeah, I know what I wouldn't do
