Your Mistake

I got this from Sister Hazel,
before she left this town,
five young lads from Gainsville,
jumpin up and down

asked if I would join them,
out on the weary road,
you know this is what I wanted,
to carry this heavy load

you said that you would wait,
wait for my return,
not sure if that's a good idea,
for that I have concern

you are such a brave soul,
you give more than you take,
I don't want to be the one,
who you call your mistake

I am the cosmic traveler,
from moon to star I jump,
going where the beams may lead,
could wind up in the dump

yes it worries me that you concede,
your future is as stake,
no I don't want to be the one,
that you call your mistake

David Nelson...
in hindsight, that is exactly what I became
