lyrics

That Could Have Been Me – Words and music by Phil Klahn

Good luck with the gridlock
And the tick, tock as the time just rolls away

Get back on track, but the fact
is that ain't really your parade

There's so many tears in that loving cup
I don't know if I'll ever really measure up

That could have been me
Walking blind to the blessings
That could have been me
Full of doubt and second guessings
That could have been me
Slow to pick up on the lessons
All the shoulda, coulda, woulda, oughta been,
That could have been me

Give back all the kickbacks and the knick-knacks
You swore you needed to be happy

It's all fine, by design and in time
You find you're rolling down a road long and lovely

There's so many tears in that loving cup
I don't know if I'll ever really measure up

That could have been me
Giving heed to the dangers
That could have been me
Making friends out of strangers
That could have been me
Rolling with the changes
That seem to ebb and flow, and come and go
for you and me, you know,
That could have been me

Break: Oooh, Aaah

That could have been me
Giving heed to the danger
That could have been me
Making friends out of strangers
That could have been me
Rolling with the changes

All the shoulda, coulda, woulda, oughta been,
Shoulda, coulda, woulda, oughta been,
Shoulda, coulda, woulda, oughta been,

That could have been me
That could have been me
That could have been me
