A Man Who Makes Mistakes - David Hodges

Lyrics by：David Hodges/Steve Solomon/Ben Goldsmith

Composed by：David Hodges/Steve Solomon/Ben Goldsmith

When I was five

My grandma gave me my first memory

A Dukes of Hazard car with a plastic key

It wasn't the one I wanted

But there's a right way to be honest

And still be grateful

I know it's late but I'm thankful

When I left home

I brought my baggage with me when I moved west

Met a friend and told her how to live

She loved me even though I

Couldn't see that my mind

Was so closed then

I know it's late but I'm open

There is fine line between my past and me

And there is a timeline connecting who you see

It takes a lifetime of learning every day

This is the story of a man who makes mistakes

When I grew up

I met a girl and we decided to settle down

But we lost the fire we had somehow

And when my heart got darker

Her heart just got larger

Just like magic

And I don't take that for granted

There is fine line between my past and me

And there is a timeline connecting who you see

It takes a lifetime of learning every day

This is the story of a man who makes mistakes

I'm not done learning

But I'm not done hoping

I'm not done hurting and failing

But hey I'm not done growing

Cause there is fine line between my past and me

And there is a timeline connecting who you see

It takes a lifetime of learning every day

This is the story of a man who makes mistakes

Before this ends

Looking back there's so much to forget

But I can't think of any last regrets

And one thing I keep learning

Is beauty is a journey

So I'm not just older

I know it's late but I'm closer
