Chorus:
If I had a dime for half the things I did
That didn't make no sense at all
I'd be living a little higher on the hog
If only I'd've known that later on down the road
I'd look back and not like what I see
I'd've changed a lot of things
Starting with me

You tell it brother... Im 44, singer/songwriter/guitarist. Been drinking and partying for all my life. Got sober for 7 years, fell off. Got worse. 4 DUIs, high speed chases etc. In Kansas City. Spent 2 years behind bars, still struggled after I got out. Christmas day was 90 days... Again... Spent Christmas alone. Pushed out everyone in my life who cared for me, but made it thru the holidays sober. Got a great job with an old business acquaintance and things are awesome. God is great! Keep it up

[@fordrunner1000]

Seems like since the first time I’ve heard this song when it came out at 19 . I’ve slowly lived up to every verse over the years now I’m 34 looking back can’t say I’m to proud of everything I’ve done but its taught me some valuable life lesson. The person who taught me I don’t need anyone is the one person I need the most. I miss you Dad sorry I wasn’t there with my brothers the day you passed.

The mistakes that I had made in my life I regret every single one of them but I had ask god for forgiveness this is a true testimony that god is real and all things are possible

[@MickyRichardson-qe7wf]

I use to believe there was a black cloud that hung above me. I've spent my entire life fighting every demon possible it seems. I grew up in two homes full of chaos in and out of jail and psychiatric hospitals. Fathered a child that i thought was mine, became a alcoholic, and always struggle with love. If you're not careful your struggles with life can have you question everything about it and you lose sight of anything that can make you happy. I found out that I was the black cloud that hovered above me.

[@SuperSoulBrotha4]

This song has got mylife written all over it....It's hard to take I think that's why some folks cant handle country. It really gets you thinking and hits you right at the heart. I love country.

[@traxxas117]

My life has been scarred with my mistakes. Then I picked up my Bible and started reading, I ain't perfect but I can say that it's made me more of a man. It's given me patience and I realized that if the people I've wronged were able to forgive me than I can be more forgiving. I swear and make mistakes still but with gods guidance I know hes gonna make me that better man. I'd of changed a lot of things, starting with me... That's what I'm working on.

This is my eldest son's anthem. Sadly, he's 45 years old & still on the same road. All these things, (& more), he's done leaving a human debris path in his wake. Thanks, Jake Owen, for singing this song to & for all the mamas whose children will never look inward & grow up.

[@icedclips725]

Maybe he needs some moral support And a boost of confidence. I've struggled with alcohol and broke my mom's heart more than once. Got a job in commercial fishing and it changed my life.

[@jdmarr2259]

​​@@icedclips725 I just read your response 11 months later. I'm afraid you got it backwards. Read the 12 steps of A.A., especially #8 and #9. It's not about what others owe you, but what you owe others regarding your addiction. I respect tremendously someone who's gotten clean & sober. Congratulations on that. Peace.

[@allfacts19]

Addictions can be beat in different ways. The 12 step program doesn't work for everyone that's why they keep relapsing. People have to find other healthy things to take the place of their Addictions. If someone finds something that they're passionate about they have the best chance of successfully beating the Addiction. I dreaded going to 12 step meetings. So i became passionate about hiking and exercising. You should always support someone morally. Just be there to talk to them. It doesn't mean supplying them with money.

Gotta love it when a parent calls their own kid out on social media!!! And ya wonder why he’s rebellious??

Hello friend…How are you doing today hopefully everything is fine with you and your family?

[@xXeMokiDXxMCRXx]

There are many who still are raised on that, I've never gotten anything without working for it, it has taught me the values of life and I never take anything for granted. I've worked hard since I was 14 years old, and before I got work I was tidying and doing stuff to get my pocket money. Fabulous way to live, I may of thought it hard back then but it has taught me so much now I am an adult!

[@Lotti.prod2nd]

"I Wasn't there standing by the bed when the preacher bowed his head with my family the day my grandma died." Heartbreaking.

[@chancepearson841]

That part always chokes me up.... That's the biggest regret I have.

[@jbmu02]

Harley Horman That part of this song makes me cry and need a big hug really bad. My late grandmother died during my senior year of high school. I miss her so much even still to this day. And even though I am a Christian, there are many things that I wish I could go back and undo, including something really bad that I did that cost me my job back in January of 2014. From me to the man who owns my old job, if you ever come across this video and read this post of mine, I beg and plea for your forgiveness for what I did. I promise you (for the rest of my life) that I didn't mean to do what I did back then, even though what I did was inappropriate. I still and forever will accept full responsibility for said mistake. Even if I can't return to work there, at least forgive me as a man for it.

This is the only song that has ever made me cry. So much meaning, if I could go back at tell my grandpa I love him, I would. I miss him so much. Just a reminder that we only have one chance to cherish the ones we love.......never forget that. r.i.p. Grandpa

[@jbmu02]

Bradster Dude This made me cry and need a big hug really bad too. I miss my grandmother so much, wish I had been able to meet my late grandfather, and hope that someday, while we both are still alive, that the man who owns a company that fired me in January of 2014 forgives me for what I did. I didn't do anything illegal, cheat, lie, or anything of that nature. But what I did was still very bad. However, I hope that he understands that I didn't mean to do what I did.

Why can't we have more songs like this (i.e. very good) on the radio today as opposed to skinny jean bro country?

[@W0RLDSSMALLESTVI0LIN]

joetcacciola it's gone, done and overwith. complete history. Jake doesn't even make music like this anymore.

[@tylerw1418]

The reason is because the industry slowly wants all music to sound the same so the can easily pick the artists who matches that and spend little money advertising and they will be popular. All about money.

We all live with regrets from things we have done in our younger years. It is part of maturing as a Man or a Woman. Every day is a blank canvas and we can paint it any way we want...The more mistakes we have made and learned from, just makes the picture you paint today much more refined and beautiful.

I let Wild Turkey and drugs ruin my life back in my younger days,Id give anything if I could have just left the drink and drugs alone,Im 5 years clean now,but it hasnt changed all the hell I put my family through,yes sir Id changed a lot of things,starting with me.I was a drunk as a child,my mother died while at work supporting my 4 sisters and me,I lost it,couldnt deal with life so I stayed wasted for nearly 35 years,I dont feel amazing,im no super man,Im a simple man.my moms only son.miss you.

[@216tdw]

I wish I could set a better example for my two little boys, but like the song says, it all starts with me. I am working each and every day to be a better dad than I had. Hopefully one day my boys will be proud to have me as a father.

Hell, my mom bought me my first pack of smokes at 14. I switched to dip at 18, so I could quit smoking, when I started coughing up black stuff. I've been trying to quit dip for for 20 years now. Wish me luck haha

[@JakeOwenFansOnly]

[@Babybluebbw]

July 25, 2006 - RCA releases Jake Owen's debut album, "Startin' With Me". Hindsight is 20/20.

[@mikehaskins5965]

I first heard this song on a $20 prison radio with crappier sound than the cellphone im listening to it on while typing. Never was a fan of country music before that point. I guess what hit home the most is Everything mentioned in the song, i had done in the past, almost to the T. It was at that moment in that dark place, i left the past behind and never looked back. Happily married now, and self employed in the skilled trades. Now a days, its just me and the wife, our son, dogs and chickens, living out our American Country Love Song! Any time Jake Owen comes to Wisconsin, the Wife and I are there! Cant wait for the summer festival circuit!

[@violetmiller9999]

Congratulations, man. That is great! The power of a song.

[@MPFarmer]

16 people need to look back in their life and acknowledge the role they played in their past. The only consistent thing in your life is you!!

[@cuttnhorse2013]

If Jake would sing songs as this one, he would make a great comeback! After he changed, or let Nashville change him, well I just don’t get him anymore!🤠

[@jakeowen8378]

Hey Big fan! I hope you're having a great Day!! Just a quick note to say Thank You for all the support you've been sending my way🙏🙏 I hope you can continue the good work because it’s duly appreciated,❤️

[@leslietaylor511]

We all are imperfect; we fall then get up and start again. Keep going my friend, it's gonna get better, I promise. God Bless you Jake Owen, great song "Startin' With Me". I do believe everyone can relate to this song one way or another.

[@jakeowen3609]

Hello how are you doing today , Thanks so much for listening to my songs and showing support, would you like to connect with me and share your story with me , [e-mail] Jake

[@amberhoney82]

And in this moment of realization the choice is left up to you on what you do with your future. Continue down the same road and continue to not like the person staring back at you or begin to make the changes necessary to be the very best version of yourself. Go knowing that I supported the change. Wanted the change. Saw all that you could and should be. Que Sera Sera.

[@tjb913]

Love you Jake ❤️❤️

[@vincecas7]

This song is so damn good

[@mhougestol]

wisdom comes from experience, experience comes from mistakes

[@nickdenash]

Such a real song. Hurts so much to listen to. I've done so much wrong and now I can't be with the girl of my dreams nor does my four year old daughter even know who I am. If only...

[@rustybeatty6567]

Nick Denash that hurts me to the the core just to hear you say and admit to it. My ex-girlfriend and I lost a child back in high school miscarriage. We spilt not long after that she had a bad temper and she abused me from the start of our relationship a year prior to the miscarriage. The pain of the loss still hurts but I think God knew it was for the best she was not mothering material I wasn’t ready to a dad at that age and time of my also I think God knew that and did the right thing for the both of us I blamed God for a while I asked for forgiveness and I forgave him about a year later I still feel the loss of the child to this day she was 6 and half months pregnant at the time this was back in early 2003 last half of my junior year of high school. I can feel your pain.

[@Dennette-eo2ch]

Jake, I got to see you live and you were awesome, Thank you for a great time in my life ❤️🦋
