[Verse 1]
Cousin with a skateboard, steep driveway
Said I’d dare you, so I did
Now I got two scarred knees and elbows
As long as I live
At the pink house with the wet paint
631 for a wild oak drive
Mama said, don’t touch it but I did
Red-handed, my first lie

[Chorus]
It’s a shame you can’t erase a bad decision
I’ve been reading into mine since ’93
Can I write it if it’s wrong once it’s written?
Can’t edit, just let it be history
Story of my life I think that I’m finally getting it
I own it all but I’d like to call the revisionist

[Verse 2]
And Chattanooga young love wasn’t ready
But he was, so I did, now I’m here
Thinking about how to tell my daughter
Someday about that holiday

[Chorus]
And it’s a shame you can’t erase a bad decision
I’ve been reading in the mind since ’93
Can I write it if it’s wrong once it’s written in?
Can’t edit, just let it be history
Story of my life I think that I’m finally getting it
I own it all but I’d like to call the revisionist

[Bridge]
To destroy all the evidence
And all my tears on the cutting room floor
Back to those relationships where I’ve been a b!tch
Prove that I’m not like that anymore

[Chorus]
It’s a shame you can’t erase a bad decision
I’ve been reading in my mind since ’93
Can’t write it if it’s wrong once it’s written
Can’t rip out all the pages about you and me
It’s all in quotes and that’s all she wrote now, isn’t it?
I own it all but I’d still like to call the revisionist
