I climbed high on a ladder
Looked down on the valley of souls
Fought hard to get here
Burned some bridges, it took its toll
So I made some mistakes
We all do
Sold somebody something that just wasn’t new
Then I met an angel
He said just get in line
Promised a pardon
He said I’ll get to you when it’s time
Well, I made some mistakes
We all do
Sold somebody something that just wasn’t true
And I’d take it all back
But I have no excuse
I made some mistakes
What can I do
They printed in the paper
Finally made her man
The picture was dated
Lost some weight since then
I bet that angel will finally see
There’s not a lot of trouble left inside of me
Well, I made some mistakes
We all do
Sold somebody something that just wasn’t new
And I’d take it all back
But I have no excuse
Yes, I made some mistakes
We all do
Told somebody something that wasn’t true
Yes, I made some mistakes
We all do
Told somebody something, baby that just was not true
I climbed high on a ladder
