"This One's For You" lyrics

There's a couple people that I owe a beer or two
And three or four that I owe more than a few
For all the times I couldn't find the answers
Stumbling through the dark without a clue, this one's for you

Mom and Dad, they always did their best
For a crazy fool who couldn't help himself
I thank god that they were there to see me through
This one's for you

I told you all that I'd write you a song
Pour my heart into the melody to keep you singing along
This might not be the right time
These might not be the right lines to prove
For saying what I'm trying to
But this one's for you

I've been knocked down time and time again
Got picked back up by love and kinda few good friends
Who reminded me of all that I stood to lose
This one's for you

Yeah, I told you all that I'd write you a song
Pour my heart into the melody to keep you singing along
This might not be the right time
These might not be the right lines to prove
For saying what I'm trying to
But this one's for you

Made more than my fare share of the same mistakes
Bridges burned and lessons learned, a few things that I can't change
Some apologies are way past over due
So this one's for you

Oh, I told you all that I'd write you a song
Pour my heart into the melody to keep you singing along
This might not be the right time
These might not be the right lines to prove
For saying what I'm trying to
But this one's for you

There's a couple people that I owe a beer or two
And three or four that I owe more than a few
