Lyrics
IT COULD HAVE BEEN ME
© Lee Kweller & Terry Bell
I spent my summer nights in Kentucky bluegrass
Looking at the stars in the sky
Bobby spent those nights parked by the river
And gazing into Becky?s eyes.
She liked me but she liked him better
He was relentless- a real go-getter
I guess that?s how love goes.
But I can?t help suppose
Chorus:
It could have been me who got the girl
I?d be livin? in a different kind of world
If I was a lover instead of a dreamer
I would?ve spent more time with her
Oh Oh, It could have been me
I dreamt of being a big time singer
Taking my bows on the stage
Another American Idol
Chasing the groupies away
But I chased away the only chance
To keep sweet Becky in my plans
When Bobby gave her that ring
And I can?t help but think
That? {REPEAT CHORUS}
I heard that Bobby and Becky had a little girl
The prettiest blue-eyed baby came into their world
Now they?re raising up a family
While I spend my nights with my TV
Chorus
It could have been me
Who got the girl
I?d be livin? in a different kind of world
She?d call me daddy
And ride up on my shoulders
I would spend all my time with her
Oh Oh, It could have been me
{Repeat Chorus}
