It could a been good

It could a been something special

It may have had real potential

It never could show

It could a been great

It could been something alright

But we never did keep it that tight

So whaddya know

I get up at 5 am I so don't need those dreams
That I used to have

It could a been swell

It could a been off the hook now

If we ever had what it took now

I haven't a clue

I think it's as well

We may have been on the right track

Finding all the pieces we lack

But what can you do

Now I see that these are cards we drew some time ago
So if you don't know
I can do it anywhere with anyone
At anytime don't you forget
This is my life and it's going to be good
Don't you know
Not a promise or a threat or an ultimatum
Though I can do those too
I'm just telling you I've got this life
I've just got to live
I'm just following through

I dishonor the past

Being so loose with my time
I could stand accused of high crimes

In the court of the dead

And I could be next

On a page about to turn soon

So I'm movin' my ass at high noon

You heard what I said

I could say I hope I'm not misread
But that's all right

I'm quite okay with losing that fight
I can do it anywhere with anyone
At anytime don't you forget
This is my life and it's going to be good
Don't you know
Not a promise or a threat or an ultimatum
Though I can do those too
I'm just telling you I've got this life
I've got to live
I'm just following through
