Anybody Other

(album: Shut The Door - 2021)

Coulda been 5A All-State
If I'da been at the gym 'stead of at the lake
Coulda been top of my class 'stead of smoking that grass
Rolling nowhere in the fast lane
Just a couple things that I might change

If I was anyone other who I am
I might be getting drunk, wishing on what mighta been
Might feel a little older by now
Might have a few roots in this ground
I might look back and not like what I see
If I'da been anybody, if I'da been anybody
If I'da been anybody other than me

Coulda kept a ring on my wedding hand
If I'da broke less hearts in the bars back in Birmingham
Coulda kept more of my friends
If I'd never left that safer bet back behind the van
I'd still be waiting on a second chance

If I was anyone other who I am
I might be getting drunk, wishing on what mighta been
Might feel a little older by now
Might have a few roots in this ground
I might look back and not like what I see
If I'da been anybody, if I'da been anybody
If I'da been anybody other than me

Yeah
If I'da been anybody

Yeah, I did what I did
I own how I lived
I'd do it again
I'd only do it different

If I was anyone other who I am
I might be getting drunk, wishing on what mighta been
Might feel a little older by now
Might have a few roots in this ground
I might look back and not like what I see
I might be chasing down another man's dream
If I'da been anybody, if I'da been anybody
If I'da been anybody other than me

Other than me
If I'da been anybody (other than me)
If I'da been anybody (if I'da been anybody)
If I'da been anybody other than me
