Willie Nelson - Essential Willie Nelson (2003) - Nothing I Can Do About It Now lyrics

  • I've got a long list of real good reasons
    For all the things I've done
    I've got a picture in the back of my mind
    Of what I've lost and what I've won
    I've survived every situation
    Knowing when to freeze and when to run
    And regret is just a memory written on my brow
    And there's nothing I can do about it now.

    I've got a wild and a restless spirit
    I held my price through every deal
    I've seen the fire of a woman's scorned
    Turn her heart of gold to steal
    I've got the song of the voice inside me
    Set to the rhythm of the wheel
    And I've been dreaming like a child
    Since the cradle broke the bow
    And there's nothing I can do about it now.

    Running through the changes
    Going through the stages
    Coming round the corners in my life
    Leaving doubt to fate
    Staying out too late
    Waiting for the moon to say goodniight
    And I could cry for the time I've wasted
    But that's a waste of time and tears,
    And I know just what I'd change
    If went back in time somehow
    But there's nothing I can do about it now

    Running through the changes
    Going through the stages
    Coming round the corners in my life
    Leaving doubt to fate
    Staying out too late
    Waiting for the moon to say goodniight
    And I could cry for the time I've wasted
    But that's a waste of time and tears
    And I know just what I'd change
    If went back in time somehow
    But there's nothing I can do about it now.

    I'm forgiving everything that forgiveness will allow
    And there's nothing I can do about it now
