SOCIAL DISTORTION lyrics - It Coulda Been Me

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
