Yesterday I made my momma cry
I had a change of heart
Yeah I'd be leaving and say goodbye
My daddy asked me what's been going on
I thought that all was fine
I said I'm following my dreams
I won't be working 9 to 5
This might not be the way out
Let's talk another time
I was crazy and convinced these songs
Were just a waste of time
But then the two shots of whiskey
Had me back in that old bar
Asked the singer would he mind
If I borrowed his guitar
Then I sang
For most of the night
The party erased the other me
It's good enough just to feel free
The money never made me happy
I thought change will be a good thing
But now I see
I was wrong
I was wrong, I was wrong
About a year ago
I met her on a show
She had the whitest smile
You'd see for miles
And danced to every song
All this time been trying way too hard
With a big old house and fancy cars
She never gave a damn
As long as I have my guitar
And sang
For most of the night
And the party was only her and me
It was good enough to feel free
The money never made her happy
I thought fame will be a good thing
It could buy her diamond rings
And she'd happy if we'd moved it all
To the hills of Beverly
But I was wrong
I was wrong
I was wrong oh oh
I was wrong
Damn I was wrong
Then I'll sing
For the rest of my life
That part of me
Is honest as can be
It was good enough just to feel free
The money never made me happy
I thought a change will a good thing
To make my family proud of me
I thought fame will be a good thing
Cause it'd buy her diamond rings
I wish I knew that all I needed were
The things you couldn't see
But I was wrong
I was wrong
Damn I was wrong
