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.
