I make a point of never wishing I'd thrown the ball rather than followed the full back around the left side, never wished I'd turned out rather than took the ride, never wished I'd turned north rather than south. Wishing I would have taken the other fork in the road just makes me sad and gets in the way of what I'm doing today. All I can do now and all I worry about is what I'm going to do with my time today and tomorrow, yesterday is gone and gone for ever.
I've got a long list of real good reasons, for all the things I've done. I've got a picture in the back of my mind of what I've lost and what I've won. I've survived every situation knowing when to freeze and when to run, and regret is just a memory written on my brow, and there's nothing I can do about it now.
I've got a wild and a restless spirit. I held my price through every deal. I've seen the fire of a woman scorned turn her heart of gold to steel. I've got the song of the voice inside me, set to the rhythm of the wheel, and I've been dreaming like a child, since the cradle broke the bow , and there's nothing I can do about it now.
Running through the changes, going through the stages, coming round the corners in my life. Leaving doubt to fate, staying out too late, waiting for the moon to say goodnight. And ..........I could cry for the time I've wasted, but that's a waste of time and tears and I know just what I'd change, if I went back in time somehow, but........................ there's nothing I can do about it now.
I'm forgiving everything that forgiveness will allow, and there's nothing I can do about it now.
Written by Beth Nielson, sung by Willie Nelson, and I listen to it often, to keep me focused on now and the future, a not at all the mistakes and wrecks from my past.
Have a great day Sage, cuz there is something we can do about tomorrow!
