The song "I Could Have Gone Right" is about a man who was brought up well by his mother. She had high hopes for him and provided him with opportunities to make something good of his life. However, he got involved with the wrong people and started down a path of sin and crime. The man acknowledges that he made bad choices and could have easily chosen a different path. He finds himself in prison, waiting for his fate to be decided. He asks for forgiveness from his mother, feeling ashamed and remorseful for the life he led. The song is a reflection on the idea of free will and the choices we make in life. The man in the song represents the idea that we have the power to choose the direction our lives take, but it's not always easy to make the right choices. The lyrics suggest that the consequences of our actions are ultimately our responsibility and we must face them head-on.
