Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
I’ve had choices
Since the day that I was born There were voices That told me right from wrong If I had listened No, I wouldn’t be here today Living and dying With the choices I madeI was tempted
By an early age I found I liked drinkin’ Oh and I never turned it down There were loved ones But I turned them all away Now I’m living and dying With the choices I madeI’ve had choices
Since the day that I was born There were voices That told me right from wrong If I had listened No, I wouldn’t be here today Living and dying With the choices I madeI guess I’m payin’
For the things that I have done If I could go back Oh Lord knows I’d run But I’m still losin’ This game of life I play Living and dying With the choices I madeI’ve had choices
Since the day that I was born There were voices That told me right from wrong If I had listened I wouldn’t be here today Living and dying With the choices I madeLiving and dying
With the choices I made
