From the recording Stories Amidst the Blue
This is supposed to be a duet . . sort of a "anything you can do I can do better" kind of thing. Two people with hopelessly and helplessly strong (and not necessarily healthy) energy between them.
you get the idea.
Lyrics
Guy: "Papa said that I'm plain-old pig headed"
Girl: "My mama called me stubborn as a mule"
Both/in harmony: "'cause they told me things I should not do . .
(most had to do with you . .)
but I didn't listen like a fool"
Girl: "Daddy said " don't get drawn into drama"
Guy: "And we drew more than this country boy could bare"
Both/in harmony: "cause you took me up, but mostly down
a roller coaster for a clown
the kind you don't find at the county fair
Chorus
So I often wonder what would happen
If just one thing I did could be undone
'Cause of all the things that I regret
of all the things I can't forget
of all the folks I've met you are the one
the one thing that I wished I never done
Guy: "Mama said don't run with fast fillies"
Girl" "you were faster than a race horse, lord I learned"
Both: "A wild one I thought I'd tame
but like a moth that's drawn to flame
I flew to you . . and then I crashed and burned"
Chorus
So I often wonder what would happen
If just one thing I did could be undone
'Cause of all the things that I regret
of all the things I can't forget
of all the folks I've met you are the one
the one thing that I wished I never done
Bridge
Guy: "the fact is you're a sexy as a siren"
Girl: "the fact is we were mighty good in bed"
Both: The fact is that we sure had fun
and of all the bad things said and done
the worst dear is how you screwed with my head!
Chorus
So I often wonder what would happen
If just one thing I did could be undone
'Cause of all the things that I regret
of all the things I can't forget
of all the folks I've met you are the one
You're the one thing that I wish I'd never
(some things I want forever)
Like the one thing I wish I'd never done!
done
