Verse 1
I was young with my boots on wrong
Thought I knew it all back then
Said some things I didn’t mean
Let my pride do the talkin’ again
She stood there on that gravel road
Eyes sayin’ “don’t let me down”
But I turned my back like a fool
Didn’t know what I had found
Chorus
Yeah, I messed it up once, messed it up twice
Left her heart hangin’ on a roll of dice
But I finally learned what love’s about
When I saw her walkin’ out
This time I’ll stay, this time I’ll fight
Do it the way I should’ve done right
I broke her trust, but I’m here to say
I’m doin’ it right this time, I’ll stay
Verse 2
Second chance felt like gold
But I treated it like a game
Thought sorry was enough
Didn’t change a single thing
She cried in the passenger seat
While the radio played low
That was the night I realized
Some lines you don’t cross, you just don’t
Chorus
Yeah, I messed it up once, messed it up twice
Left her heart hangin’ on a roll of dice
But I finally learned what love’s about
When I saw her walkin’ out
This time I’ll stay, this time I’ll fight
Do it the way I should’ve done right
I broke her trust, but I’m here to say
I’m doin’ it right this time, I’ll stay
Bridge
I ain’t sayin’ I’m perfect now
But I’m better than I was
I learned love ain’t big talk
It’s showin’ up because
Final Chorus
Yeah, I messed it up once, messed it up twice
But I ain’t that kid for the rest of my life
I’m standin’ here with open hands
Tryin’ to be her man
This time I’ll stay, this time I’ll prove
Every promise I make is true
I hurt her bad, but I found my way
I’m doin’ it right this time, I’ll stay
Outro
On that same old gravel road
I’m finally standin’ my ground
I ain’t leavin’ when it’s hard
No, I ain’t lettin’ her down
