i got your name-and i got your eyes
i got some how's-and got some why's
to this day-i hate goodbyes

mama had to be both-soft and tough
i tried her patience-and i pressed my luck
she hugged my neck-and busted my butt
to settle me down-if you'd been around

maybe i wouldn't have grown up so fast
wrecked my first car-or ever smoked grass
and maybe i'd have lots of memories of you
not just pictures of someone-i barely knew
just so you know-i'm doing okay
the road ain't been easy-but i found my way
and sometimes i think-i might've turned out
more like the man i've heard stories about
if you'd been around

i learned how to punch-from losing some fights
i learned the value of truth-owning up to some lies
now i realize-all of the time
i was more lost than found-if you'd been around

maybe i wouldn't have raised so much hell
spent more than i made-or that night in jail
and maybe i'd have lots of memories of you
not just pictures of someone-i barely knew
just so you know-i'm doin' alright
got a woman that loves me-and i've made a good life
but sometimes i think-i might've turned out
to be better than-the man i am now
if you'd been around

maybe just maybe-we would be friends
we'd drink a beer-and fish now and then
these are the things-that i think about
i can almost imagine-how it would've played out
if you'd been around.
