Lyrics
LOVELY MISTAKE c. 1999 Sally Fingerett Green Fingers Music/BMI
No more aiming at my own feet
No more triggers, no more smokin? guns
No more shooting myself in the foot
Thinking I could hit and run, from all my mistakes.
No more wonderin? what could have been
No more sorrow, I?ll just move along
I?ll be lacing bullet proof shoes,
Starting anew, through, all my mistakes.
Hold them fast, let ?em go fast, remember them to your heart
It?s gonna be alright, when the big ol? light brings
the dawn and a brand new start.
There?s so much good to take, from a lovely mistake.
All this wisdom has me hanging by a thread
Sometimes woven lace, sometimes a spider web
Then I get tangled inside my head,
It?s a wonder I?m not dead, from all my mistakes.
Hold them fast, let ?em go fast, remember them to your heart
It?s gonna be alright, when the big ol? light brings
the dawn and a brand new start.
There?s so much good to take, from a lovely mistake.
Here we sit in judgement that?s why we don?t get along
Self indulgent, self rightous and strong
It?s so easy being right, man it?s tougher being wrong,
Hell, it?s possible this song is a lovely mistake.
Hold them fast, let ?em go fast, remember them to your heart
It?s gonna be alright, when the big ol? light brings
the dawn and a brand new start.
There?s so much good to take, from a lovely mistake.
