It Could Have Been Me next song/previous song I've been down so many times That I can't get up And I been around so many times I'm like a spinning top I’ve been to places that you'd never want to go I’ve met some people that you'd never want to know So if there's someone on the ground Don't walk around them That could have been me Well I've been called a lot of names Right to my face And the way I wear my clothes I know is such a disgrace And I messed around with things I know are wrong I drank some liquor that I know is strong But if there's someone on the ground Don't walk around them Cos it could have been me Well I've tried, how I've tried to do Oh I've tried to do my best And I've tried To be a cut above the rest But I was way behind before the race began And when you're losing well you just don't give a damn So if there's someone on the ground Don't walk around them Cos it could have been me Well I've tried to find some heaven In every kind of bar I've battled with the devil While reaching for my star Failed to see the signs That tell you what to know And I've even burned my bridges With no place left to go But now I've told you all the truth Well I must admit it seems I'm living proof That when there's someone on the ground Well don't you turn your face around Cos if there's someone on the ground Don't walk around them It could have been me ©2002 Boo Howard & Dave Ellis song index top
