lyrics

Could've been an astronaut tumbling through outer space
Could've owned me a vineyard sucking on them sour grapes
Could've been a cowboy riding through a one horse town
Instead I been just who I been, doing what I'm doing now

Could've been a wise man, but I just fake the smarts
Could've been a surgeon operating on them bleeding hearts
Could've been a king, baby, but I ain't got no crown
Instead I been just who I been, doing what I'm doing now

I've been a fool, I've been broke, and I've been rich
I've been a smartass getting poisoned by my wits
I've been a drunk, I've been a slave to your kiss
I've been so god damn lucky that I can't complain about shit

Could've been a firefighter trying to get that flame to die
Could've been an arsonist trying to coax that flame alive
Could've been a farmer with a tractor and a plow
Instead I been just who I been, doing what I'm doing now

Could've been a soldier, but I won't shoot to kill
Could've been a carpenter, but I don't know how to build
Could've been a priest or saint, but ain't no God around
Instead I been just who I been, doing what I'm doing now

I've been a fool, I've been broke, and I've been rich
I've been a smartass getting poisoned by my wits
I've been a drunk, I've been a slave to your kiss
I've been so god damn lucky that I can't complain about shit

Could've been a lawyer, but I tell it how it is
Could've been the president, but I don't fuck with politics
Could've been the savior, but I ain't got it figured out
Instead I been just who I been, doing what I'm doing now
