Nanci Griffith - I Would Change My Life

Lyrics

You never liked this place where we'd been living all along

So, you packed up your things and bought a one-way ticket home

Leaving never hurt as much as being left behind

[Chorus:]

I would change my life

I would make it right

I would change my life

If you would only change your mind

I have spent my hours on some misbegotten dream

I have spent my money on some foolish hearted things

I have spent my memories on old embittered wine

[Chorus]

I wish that I could find the words to make you come back home

I wish that I could say the things you needed for so long

I wish that you could see me now, maybe then you'd find

[Chorus]
