It Could've Been Me Lyrics

Hey Joe, have you seen my friend Flo
I was with her last night, I thought it was alright for her to go
Put her in the car, guess she didn't get very far
'Cause they found her shoes and her purse by the off rampDon't know why she stopped but I am sure she had a reason
Some creep took it as chick open season
It doesn't look good, no, it doesn't look good
I doubt she's gonna get up and walk out of those woodsBut it could have been me, oh
And that strikes me like a baseball bat across my knees, alrightOne night my car broke down on the turnpike
I was stuck in Northeast Pennsylvania
It was after midnight and it was gonna snow
I didn't have nowhere to goI thought to call for help
But when the cars passed me by my cries fell silent
For how many times has the Devil walked among us
Wearing the face of the saviorSo I headed out alone not sure whether to stay in the light
Where I could see or in the darkness where they can't see meIt could have been me, oh
Strikes me like a baseball bat across my knees
Oh, it could have been me, oh
Strikes me like a baseball bat across my knees

Oh, across my knees, oh, across my knees
