You Can't Take It Back

There she was just seventeen
 Cryin' on the mornin' after
 He told her everything she wanted to hear
 All those drunken reasons that she had
 For givin' in don't matter
 And they don't stop the tears noooo
 What do you do when it's too late
 What do you say when you can't change the truth
 Of what you've done
 And it's coming at you fast
 When you can't hide the hurt inside
 How do you pray to make it right
 When you wanna change the past
 And you can't take it back
 You can't take it back
 Scared to death she tells her friend
 To meet her at the drugstore counter
 And finds out what she didn't wanna hear
 Daddy will die
 Her mamma will cry
 The kids at school will talk about her
 There ain't no easy way outta here oh
 What do you do when it's too late
 What do you say when you can't change the truth
 Of what you've done
 And it's coming at you fast
 When you can't hide the hurt inside
 How do you pray to make it right
 When you wanna change the past
 And you can't take it back
 You can't take it back
 All the choices
 That she's made
 That baby staring back at her
 Is one she wouldn't change
 What do you do when it's too late
 What do you say when you can't change the truth
 Of what you've done
 And it's coming at you fast
 When you can't hide the hurt inside
 How do you pray to make it right
 When you wanna change the past
 And you can't take it back
 You can't take it back
 What do you do when it's too late
 What do you say when you can't change the truth
 Of what you've done
 And it's coming at you fast
 When you can't hide the hurt inside
 How do you pray to make it right
 When you wanna change the past
 And you can't take it back
 You can't take it back
 Sometimes it ain't so bad
