  1. Making Amends

From the recording Gin & Vermouth

Lyrics

VERSE
She was ridin’ on her Big Wheel® when he lurched into his drive
As he stumbled from the car, the scared little girl just cried
He was lucky she was unhurt; she was lucky to be alive
And he was wishing hard he was anywhere but there

VERSE
Next door, the little girl’s mama came right out the house screamin’
“You almost hit her. What the hell could you be thinkin’?”
It was right then and there that he realized the truth
There was something he totally had to do

CHORUS
Now he’s making amends
Trying to repair the damage done by all that gin
Settling the score, nobody’s nightmare any more
Yes, right now, he’s making amends

SOLO/VERSE
He’s trying to find everyone he ever has done wrong
It won’t be easy; the list is pretty long
It’s amazing what you see when you’re thinkin’ straight
And what you never see comin’ when you’re in that other place

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
And, you know, the most heartfelt apology of all
Went to that sweet little girl next door

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
A big man finally humbled, now he’s making amends
