The 1st Mistake I Made

I ain't got no claim to nothing

I don't mess with anyone

I walk my way living in a masquerade

And one day I look behind me

And all the things I've done

That's the first mistake I ever made

I was born to a lonely woman

In a town called Buffalo

Never knew the man that never stayed

With my 12-string on my back

I discovered every track

That's the first mistake I ever made

With the million hearts I've broken

I never kept the score

Memories of good love hate to fade

But I still remember someone

Who loved me so much more

That's the first mistake I ever made

So, when life ain't worth the living

In the night I look above

I pray about the million times I've prayed

I know my story ended

When I lost my only love

That's the first mistake I ever made

I was born to a lonely woman

In a town called Buffalo

Never knew the man that never stayed

With my 12-string on my back

I discovered every track

That's the first mistake I ever made
