rate me<br>
Man<br>
If I could've been<br>
What I could've been<br>
I could've been somethin'...<br>
<br>
Woman<br>
I wanted to be a writer...<br>
<br>
Man<br>
...a major-league baseball player...<br>
<br>
Man<br>
...own a little farm...<br>
<br>
Man<br>
If what I could be <br>
Had been left to me<br>
I would've been somethin'...<br>
<br>
Woman<br>
...but then I got married...<br>
<br>
Man<br>
...then the kids came along...<br>
<br>
Man<br>
...but then my dad took sick...<br>
<br>
Man<br>
A tower of strength<br>
A center of power<br>
At ten bucks an hour...<br>
<br>
Woman<br>
If I could've done what I could've done<br>
I could've done big things<br>
With some luck to do what I wanted to.<br>
I would've done big things<br>
Swam a few rivers,<br>
Climbed a few hills,<br>
Paid all my bills...<br>
<br>
Woman and others<br>
Now It's just dreams that I'm stuck with<br>
And hell, that aint a lot to show<br>
I haven't gone far from the starting line<br>
But deep down inside where it counts I know...<br>
<br>
Solo<br>
I know I could've gone<br>
Where I could've gone<br>
I could've gone places<br>
<br>
With leeway to go<br>
Far as I could go<br>
I would've gone places<br>
To the <br>
Front of the line,<br>
The top of the tier,<br>
A long way from here...<br>
<br>
Way back then I had ambition<br>
A lot of stamina and guts<br>
I never took "no" for an answer<br>
It was tougher to fight<br>
All those if's, and's or but's...<br>
<br>
All<br>
All those If's and's or but's<br>
But if I...<br>
<br>
Man, Woman<br>
Could've been<br>
What I could've been<br>
I could've been somethin'<br>
If my destiny <br>
Had been left to me<br>
I would've been somethin<br>
<br>
Another woman<br>
IF they had just let me go<br>
Where I was rarin' to go<br>
When I was rarin' to go<br>
Back then...<br>
<br>
All<br>
God only knows<br>
What I could've been<br>
