Shoulda been a captain so I could sail out to sea
Shoulda been a dentist so I would have perfect teeth
Shoulda been asleep so I could live out this dream
Shoulda been anything but what I chose to be
Shoulda been a model on the cover of magazines
Or a politician so I could lie on TV
Shoulda been famous so I could get shit for free
Shoulda been anything but what I chose to be
Shoulda taken lessons so I would know how to sing
Shoulda been a doctor so I could buy you that ring
Shoulda been a preacher so I could make you believe
Shoulda been anything but what I chose to be
Shoulda been an actor so I would know what to say
Shoulda been a morning so I would never be up late
Shoulda been a sell out instead I, I played for free
Shoulda been anything but what I chose to be
Shoulda been a father instead I was a son of a gun
Shoulda been the finish line so I would never have to run
Shoulda been asleep so I could live out this dream
Shoulda been anything but what I chose to be
