Lyrics
I'm not the kind of man
That has his life all neatly planned
That's just the way I am
Ain't no changing now
But there are times I sit and dream
About the way things might have been
If I had only changed the scene
How it would've all turned out
Now in my younger days
Struggling to find my way
I lived life day to day
Where the wind did blow
I might have gone real far
Playing this old guitar
I might have been a star
Guess I'll never know
But I placed my bets
And baby I have no regrets
We may have never met
Down that other road
Any other place or time
We might have passed each other by
A simple roll of the dice
That's how it goes
Baby me and you
When I think of all that we've been through
And how that love just grew
Blossomed like a rose
I still see that young girl standing there
Bright blue eyes and golden hair
My one and only Lady Fair
Glad I'm the one you chose
As for those dreams of fame
I could throw them all away
Seems a small price to pay
For loving you my friend
I know you placed your bets
I'm hoping you have no regrets
I promise you the best is yet
Waiting round the road
I know you placed your bets
I'm hoping you have no regrets
I promise you the best is yet
Waiting round the road
