Lyrics

I got friends who are in prison
Friends who are dead
I'm gonna tell you something
That I've often said
Chorus:
You know these things that happen
That's just the way it's supposed to be
And I can't help but wonder
Don't ya know it coulda been me
I had me a good girl
Her kisses sweeter than wine
And I had always hoped
That someday I'd make her mine
Chorus:
But she ran off and married
That's just the way it's supposed to be
And I can't help but wonder
Don't ya know it coulda been me
Well the junkie-cops on first street
Sticks a needle in his arm
No, he never meant to do
Anyone no harm
Chorus:
But he's buried six feet deep
That's just the way it's supposed to be
And I can't help but wonder
Don't ya know it coulda been me
I had me a good girl
Her kisses sweeter than wine
And I had always hoped
That someday I'd make her mine
