What it would be like If you turned a different corner, Lived a different life Its not that I don’t love her, Or I don’t care about my friends But if my life could be different where would it end Well I never finished high school, Started work when I was young Went off in all directions, Like buck shot out of a gun I drank hard and liked to party, Wasted many years away But if my life could be different where would I be today Could be on a sailboat, out on the raging sea I could have been a doctor, helping society Maybe a teacher, could have been a monk No telling what might have happened If I’d played jazz instead of cow punk If I’d played jazz instead of cow punk If I’d played jazz instead of cow punk If I’d played jazz instead of cow punk So sometimes late at night As I lay there in my bed I dream of all the places I never went to in my head I think of all the decisions That I made in my past Would it have made a difference if I choose a different task Could be on a sailboat, out on the raging sea Or I could have been a doctor, helping society Maybe a teacher or I could have been a monk No telling what might have happened If I’d played jazz instead of cow punk If I’d played jazz instead of cow punk, If I’d played jazz instead of cow punk If I’d played jazz instead of cow punk If I’d played jazz instead of cow punk, If I’d played jazz instead of cow punk If I’d played jazz instead of cow punk, If I’d played jazz instead of cow punk |
