That’s A Mistake Lyrics by Riley Green

I’m still late on an oil change
Even after my second transmission
Still telling myself I’ll be on time
Running out the door at the last minute
Still losing my keys, leaving my boots out in the rain
Ain’t thinking most things through
But, girl, when it comes to you

That’s a lesson that you can’t unlearn
That’s a bridge that you can’t unburn
That’s a curve caught lookin’, one strike, you’re out
It’s a dropped Hail Mary on the last fourth down
It’s a “Shoulda known better” showing up too late
It’s a “Wish I woulda just done it any other way”
Losing a girl that was second to none
Yeah, that’s a mistake that you only gonna make once

When an angel runs out of mercy
And give-a-damn tears to cry
It does a little more than hurt you
Stops your whole world on a dime
That’s a back-to-the-wall wakeup call
It’s a hell of a point that made it across

That’s a lesson that you can’t unlearn
That’s a bridge that you can’t unburn
That’s a curve caught lookin’, one strike, you’re out
It’s a dropped Hail Mary on the last fourth down
It’s a “Shoulda known better” showing up too late
It’s a “Wish I woulda just done it any other way”
Losing a girl that was second to none
Yeah, that’s a mistake that you only gonna make once

I made it when you left the drive
I know you might be dead set on goodbye
But I’ll be ready just in case you ain’t out there still thinking that I’m

Just a lesson that you can’t unlearn
Or a bridge that you can’t unburn
A curve caught lookin’, one strike, you’re out
A dropped Hail Mary on the last fourth down
It’s a “Shoulda known better” showing up too late
It’s a “Wish I woulda just done it any other way”
Losing a girl that was second to none
Yeah, that’s a mistake that you only gonna make once

You only gonna make once
