Lotta Good That Does Me Now
Regrets and Revelations: A Whiskey-Fueled Tale of Redemption
Lyrics
I didn't know where I was when I woke up
I woke up without knowing my location.
With a headache and a black eye
I had a headache and a black eye.
In the bed of my old truck
I woke up in the bed of my old truck.
I wish I'd made myself go home last night
I regret not making the choice to go home the previous night.
Instead of closing that bar down
I stayed at the bar until it closed.
And starting that damn fight
I got into a fight that started because of my reckless behavior.
I learned whiskey just don't mix
I've learned that whiskey and my outspoken nature don't go well together.
With my smart mouth
Now that realization doesn't benefit me.
Lotta good that does me now
I realize the value of this knowledge, but it's of no use to me in my current situation.
What good is shoulda known better
What's the point of knowing better after already making a mistake?
Once you've done what you shoulda never done at all
Once you've done something you shouldn't have, hindsight advice doesn't help.
What's the use in all that knowin'
Why possess knowledge if reflecting on it won't alter the past?
When looking back won't change nothin'
Looking back and regretting won't change anything.
And it's too late for you to do a thing about
It's too late to take action or make amends.
It's like finding your keys
Comparing the situation to finding keys after breaking a window.
Once you bust your window out
There's no use in finding something when the means to access it are ruined.
Lotta good that does me now
The realization of this circumstance doesn't benefit the current state.
Now all my friends been blowing up my phone
My friends have been calling me constantly.
It ain't like me to act like that
My behavior was out of character, and my friends are aware of it.
But then again they know she's gone
They understand that my significant other has left.
I think I finally screwed up good this time
I believe I've messed up significantly this time.
Cause I'm sorry and, baby, don't go
I apologize and beg my partner not to leave, a thought that didn't occur to me earlier.
Never even crossed my mind
Regretfully, I didn't consider this before her departure.
At least, not until her taillights faded out
Her leaving only made me realize my mistake.
Lotta good that does me now
This realization doesn't change my current predicament.
What good is shoulda known better
What's the use of knowing better after already making a mistake?
Once you've done what you shoulda never done at all
Once an irreversible mistake is made, knowing better doesn't help.
What's the use in all that knowin'
Why possess knowledge if reflecting on it won't alter the past?
When looking back won't change nothin'
Regretting and looking back won't change anything.
And it's too late for you to do a thing about
It's too late to take action or make amends.
It's like finding your keys
Comparing the situation to finding keys after breaking a window.
Once you bust your window out
There's no use in finding something when the means to access it are ruined.
Lotta good that does me now
The realization of this circumstance doesn't benefit the current state.
Yeah, what's the use in all that knowin'
Why possess knowledge if reflecting on it won't alter the past?
When looking back won't change nothin'
Regretting and looking back won't change anything.
And it's too late for you to do a thing about
It's too late to take action or make amends.
It's like changing your ways
Comparing the situation to changing one's ways after exhausting opportunities.
Once your chances done run out
There's no use in changing if the chances for improvement are gone.
Lotta good that does me now
The realization of this circumstance doesn't benefit the current state.
Lotta good that does me now
The acknowledgment of the futility of the situation.
I wish I'd made myself go home last night
I regret not making the choice to go home the previous night.
