I Should Have Called Lyrics

Me and a friend, we have a little falling out
I can't pretend to recall what it was all about
Something pretty old, an event so small
But it done the offense
That was ten feet tall

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e107798-chris_wall~i_should_have_called_lyrics.html ]
And he won't call and neither will I
Can't begin to tell you why
Just a couple of stubborn guys on that old fence
It's a ten feet high

Oh the old man and I
We never really got along
Didn't see eye to eye
About the worth of some old song
He said get a job

Her buddy hit the road
All my bags are packed
I was ready to go

He couldn't talk and neither could I
We never stopped to say goodbye
I didn't realize I'd never have another chance
To say goodbye

(Chorus)
And I should've called them back and got it straight that very night
But you know that pride was always my downfall
Well since then my life has let me down this lonely path
At night I wonder how it might have all worked out
Had to call them back
Had to call them back

Offered the black top, I chose the gravel
Man it sure got crowded on this road less travelled
Put the blame on me, I own all my mistakes
While trying to dodge my destiny, ran smack into my face

I once knew a girl
Brother, back in the day
That sweet little thing
She threw a world of love my way
I took my big strong arms
And I pushed it away
I should've pulled er close
She'd be here today

I couldn't talk and neither could she
A few little tears became a raging sea
Now the only common ground I see
Is a distance between her and me

(Chorus)
And I should've called her back and got it straight that very night
But you know that pride was always my downfall
Well since then my life has let me down this lonely track
At night I wonder how it might have all worked out
Had to call them back
Had to call them back

But you know that pride was always my great downfall
