It Coulda Been Me
Social Distortion
Social Distortion (1990)

I got friends who are in prison
Friends who are dead.
I'm gonna tell ya something
That I've often said.

CHORUS
You know these things that happen,
That's just the way it's supposed to be.
And I can't help but wonder,
Don't ya know it coulda been me.

I had a good girl,
Her kisses sweeter than wine.
And I had always hoped
That someday I'd make her mine.

CHORUS
But she ran off and married,
That's just the way it's supposed to be.
And I can't help but wonder,
Don't ya know it coulda been me.

Well the junkie cops of First Street,
Sticks a needle in his arm.
No, he never meant to do
Anyone no harm.

CHORUS
But 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 ya know it coulda been me.

I had me a good girl,
Her kisses sweeter than wine.
And I had always hoped
That someday I'd make her mine
