If I Could Change

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
