The 1st Mistake I Made

(albüm: 2 Years On - 1970)

I ain't got no claim to nothing
I don't mess with anyone
I walk my way living in a masquerade
And one day I looked behind me at all the things I've done
That's the 1st mistake I ever made

I was born to a lonely woman in a town called Buffalo
Never knew the man who never stayed
With my 12-string on my back I discovered every track
That's the 1st mistake I ever made

With a million hearts I've broken
I never kept the score
Memories of good love hate to stay
But I still remember someone who loved me so much more
That's the 1st mistake I ever made

So, when nothing's worth the living and in the night I look above
Prayed, about a million times I prayed
I know my story ended when I lost my only love
That's the 1st mistake I ever made

I was born to a lonely woman in a town called Buffalo
Never knew the man who never stayed
With my 12-string on my back I discovered every track
That's the 1st mistake I ever made
