If I Could Change Lyrics

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
