By Accident Lyrics & Chords By 500 Miles To Memphis

I remember in 1998
You were so proud you couldn't wait
To see what the future held for me
I got a little older and fell in with a crowd
My heart was bleeding for the punk rock sound
I just couldn't seem to get enough

By accident with a loaded gun
I had an itchy trigger finger I was ready to run
I didn't think I would hurt anyone
I was playing it loose and having a time
I hate that I'm the reason that you don't shine
Like you used to long ago

Our innocence has been stripped and sold
Like a dirt track racer down the road
Sitting on a box that's nothing but a frame
I sure didn't mean to put you through hell
I done my best to stay out of jail
And by that right I think I done pretty good

I got a lonely lonely heart
You should've never let me pick up that guitar
