Coulda Never Been Me
Coulda never been me, coulda never been me
Coulda never been me, that could never be me
Coulda never been me, coulda never been me
Coulda never been me, that could never be me
Coulda never been me, coulda never been me
Coulda never been me, that could never be me
Coulda never been me, coulda never been me
Coulda never been me, that could never be me
Who don't know how to leave
I hit the spliff and dip with the breeze
Please just don't never forget me
Yeah I just could never have been what you need
You woulda thought heaven had sent me
Yeah reverend she never could get off her knees
I was just low when you met me
Thought I'd get high and forget how to breath
So then, she packed up the Chevy
She grabbed the pen, said
I ain't gon' let you forget what you said to me
Read it again and I messed up the melody
Light up with benzo like heaven accepted me
This the life that you lied to protect me from
Guess that caught up to us both
(Throat-clear)
I'd love some quiet in here
If you let me, I'm doing a toast
Yeah
Coulda never been me, coulda never been me
Coulda never been me, that could never be me
Coulda never been me, coulda never been me
Coulda never been me, that could never be me
Oh, so you
Seeing me now, beaming with pride, my feet on the ground
Keep it alive to see what you found
You keep it in stride, believe in the sound
I'm seeing with time, who's really around
Can see in your eye how silly it sounds
That I would have lied, or they wouldn't listen
There was a time I was really gon' drown
The love was a sign, I wouldn't be found
I'm one of a kind, I'm leaving the town for good
If I was still losing my mind I'd run out of time
To stand on the ground I stood
I'll be there forever
Left the key on the dresser that wasn't the code
No that was the beat of the weather
These lessons that took me wherever I go
You know I could never
Coulda never been me, coulda never been me
Coulda never been me, that could never be me
Coulda never been me, coulda never been me
Coulda never been me, that could never be me
Mmm
I guess that was never the way it was running
I guess if I said it, it wasn't for nothing
There always gon' go at the same rate they're coming
They're always gon' know when you need 'em for something
Was never the flow, no I know I know one thing
I don't have my toe in the water, I dove in
That kid'll be fine, he always be floating
That kid just resigned himself to the ocean
It wasn't a sign, it wasn't a notion
There just wasn't time for all the commotion
I put it aside, then put it in motion
I guess I'd have lied, if I'd ever known
I was just tired the way it was going
No, that shit would tie up my stomach in knots
So I had to find me a fate of my own
Yeah
Coulda never been me, coulda never been me
Coulda never been me, that could never be me
Coulda never been me, coulda never been me
Coulda never been me, that could never be me
Coulda never been me, coulda never been me
Coulda never been me, that could never be me
Coulda never been me, coulda never been me
Coulda never been me, that could never be me
Coulda never been me, coulda never been me
Coulda never been me, that could never be me
Coulda never been me, coulda never been me
Coulda never been me, that could never be me
Coulda never been me, coulda never been me
Coulda never been me, that could never be me
Coulda never been me, coulda never been me
Coulda never been me, that could never be me
Coulda never been me, that could never be me
Coulda never been me, coulda never been me
Coulda never been me, that could never be me
Coulda never been me, coulda never been me
Coulda never been me, that could never be me
Coulda never been me, coulda never been me
Coulda never been me, that could never be me
