[ Featuring the Railroad Spikes ]
Well, I shaved my face and I cut my hair like you wish I had when you were around
And I quit hangin' out with them boys that only get up to no good downtown
Well I speak a little softer and I talk a little sweeter, let everyone I love know I want 'em around
And I smile more often, let all my friends know I'm happy to have 'em right here and now
Cause I thought if I could change
Then maybe, just maybe, baby, you'd wanna stay
I thought if I could change
I wouldn't be wishin' on a shootin' star this way
But that's if I could change
Charley Crockett's easin' my pain but old Hank he tends
To just bring me down
And since you left I'm gettin' pretty sick and tired of this whole damn town
And I'm losin' my sanity with every passin' hour
And you could see that if you'd just get down from your ivory tower
Cause I thought if I could change
Then maybe, just maybe, baby, you'd wanna stay
I thought if I could change
Then maybe I wouldn't be hurtin' this way
But that's if I could change
Well I thought if I could change
Then maybe, just maybe, baby, you'd wanna stay
I thought if I could change
Then maybe, darlin
You'd come back today
But that's if I could change
And you know I can't change
Well I thought if I could change
