From the recordings MERCY AND GRACE and There’s nothing I can do about it anyway
Theres Nothing I Can Do About It Anyway
Verse 1
School was out, and I had just turned eighteen
I had my first car, my first girlfriend and my first guitar
And all I wanted was to sing and play
Make it big and marry my baby someday
Verse 2
A few years later, when she was gone
And I was still hanging around playing bars back home
With not much left of my dreams
I turned to the bottle until it turned on me
Chorus
I tried not to think about tomorrow
I tried not to think about who’s to blame
I tried not to think about yesterday
There’s nothing I can do about it anyway
Verse 3
Well, I spent the next years finding myself
Facing the devil with God’s help
He showed me how to love and forgive
It starts with loving and forgiving myself
He gave me faith to believe
And the strength to overcome and follow my dreams
Until I finally came to understand
Everything that I am, I owe to Him
Chorus
I don’t have to worry about tomorrow
I don’t have to judge myself for who’s to blame
I don’t have to think about yesterday
There’s nothing I can do about it anyway
There’s nothing I can do about it anyway
