I ain't got no claim to nothing. I don't mess with anyone. I walk my way living in a masquerade. And one day I looked behind me at all the things I've done. That's the 1st mistake I ever made. I was born to a lonely women in a town called Buffalo. Never knew the man who never stayed. With my 12-string on my back I discovered every track. That's the 1st mistake I ever made. With a million hearts I've broken. I never kept the score. Memories of good love hate to stay. But I still remember someone who loved me so much more. That's the 1st mistake I ever made. So, when nothing's worth the living and in the night I look above. Prayed, about a million times I prayed. I know my story ended when I lost my only love. That's the 1st mistake I ever made. I was born to a lonely women in a town called Buffalo. Never knew the man who never stayed. With my 12-string on my back I discovered every track. That's the 1st mistake I ever made.
