It Coulda Been Me Lyrics

I got friends who are in prison
Friends who are dead
I'm gonna tell you something
That I've often saidYou know these things that happen
That's just the way it's supposed to be
And I can't help but wonder
Don't you know it could have been meI had me a good girl
Her kisses sweeter than wine
And I had always hoped
That someday I'd make her mineBut she ran off and married
That's just the way it's supposed to be
And I can't help but wonder
Don't you know it could have been meWell the junkie-cops on first street
Sticks a needle in his arm
No, he never meant to do
Anyone no harmBut he's buried six feet deep
That's just the way it's supposed to be
And I can't help but wonder

Don't you know it could have been me, yeahI had me a good girl
Her kisses sweeter than wine
I had always hoped
That someday I'd make her mineBut she ran off and married
That's just the way it's supposed to be
And I can't help but wonder
Don't you know it could have been meCould have been me
Could have been me
Could have been me
