Not What I Had In Mind

Just thought I'd have a little fun and paint the town I always said someday I'll walk the line But now she's gone and I'm the bluest guy around And that's not exactly what I had in mind I thought that I could play the field and be a clown I broke the heart that loved me many times Yes, I know that I'm the biggest fool in town And that's not exactly what I had in mind I didn't mean for things to get so out of hand I always meant to make it up in time But now she's gone, she hates the very sight of me And that's not exactly what I had in mind I told myself, "Go play around you're young and free" Too late I found that I was oh so blind I lost a love I never did deserve at all But that's not exactly what I had in mind No, that's not exactly what I had in mind --- Not What I Had in Mind - George Jones
