It's a "I did it my way" kind of song. If I'd'a taken the advice of everybody that gave it, and lived somebody else's life, I probably would have made a lot more money, but I just lived the life God gave me. It's a good sing-along song, especially the chorus, which is something an artist always wants. I think it's totally cutable.
I've gotten good pro feedback, but it hasn't been cut yet.

V1:
If I had a dime of every dollar
From failing all the ways I did
If I’d just been born a scholar
Not a small-town backwoods kid
If I'd just listened to what she told me
When she said what should be done
If I’d just grabbed instead of giving
Instead of losing I might have won
CHORUS:
But I lived the life God gave me
No pretense, no masquerade
If I'd just lived somebody else's life
God knows the money I'd’a made
V2:
If I'd tossed my cards out on the table
If I'd just straight up cut and run
Just shut it down when I was able
There might'a been more when it was done
I don't know what I'd do different
If I had it all to do again
I'd probably make the same mistakes
Just like the ones I made back then
REPEAT CHORUS
SOLO
BRIDGE
If I'd just paid heed to the advice I'd gotten
I could be walking in some mighty tall cotton
REPEAT CHORUS
TAG:
If I'd just lived somebody else's life
God knows the money I'd’a made

Hi Joe,
Nice melody ... Great old country feel. This could be a cool duet like Marty and Travis. Thanks for adding a solo! It seems like there should be a bigger build going into the BR and final CHs. Thanks, Brent
