Could've been 5A All-State
If I have been at the gym 'stead of at the lake
Could've been top of my class 'stead of smokin' that grass
Rolling nowhere in the fast lane
Just a couple of things that I might change
If I was anyone other than who I am
I might be getting drunk, wishing on what might have 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 have been anybody, if I have been anybody
If I have been anybody other than me
♪
Could've kept a ring on my wedding hand
If I have broke less hearts in the bars back in Birmingham
Could've kept more of my friends
If I'd never left that safer bet back behind the van
I'd still be waitin' on a second chance
If I was anyone other than who I am
I might be getting drunk, wishing on what might have 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 have been anybody, if I have been anybody
If I have been anybody other than me, yeah
If I have 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 than who I am
I might be getting drunk, wishing on what might have 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 chasin' down another man's dream
If I have been anybody, if I have been anybody
If I have been anybody other than me
Other than me
If I have been anybody (other than me)
If I have been anybody (if I have been anybody)
If I have been anybody other than me
