Could Have Been Me
Goodnight my stupid friend
Your monkey lost his man
We'll never sing
Or play guitars again
I'll be breaking up the band
Heading back to the sea and sand
Where this endless bummer
All began
Yeah it could have been me
that's the way that it goes
Some turn dust
Some hit the road
Your jacket's hanging still
Too big for me to fill
Smells of smoke,
Bad jokes,and cheap ass wine
When you lay there still and cold
Was it so rock and roll
Live fast, die young
And never get old
Yeah it could have been me
that's the way that it goes
Some turn dust
Some hit the road
They fly off free
We carry the load
They turn to dust
We hit the road
If your the drinking kind
Raise a glass to a man remembered
A son of a bitch who left us
out all alone
Well it could have been me
that's the way that it goes
Some turn dust
Some hit the road
about
Goodnight my stupid friend

that's the way that it goes
Some turn dust
Some hit the road

Too big for me to fill
Smells of smoke,
Bad jokes,and cheap ass wine

Was it so rock and roll
Live fast, die young
And never get old
Yeah it could have been me

They fly off free
We carry the load
They turn to dust
We hit the road

Raise a glass to a man remembered
A son of a bitch who left us
out all alone
Well it could have been me
that's the way that it goes
Some turn dust
Some hit the road
