I COULD'VE BEEN SOMEBODY
			(Waybill-Foster-Lukather)



A steady job and small potatoes
for not doing a thing
a small seat at a great big table
but it was not for me
wish I wish I wish I may
I coulda been somebody
wish I wish I wish I might
I coulda done alright

A pointed hat and a subway token
for an empty seat
a new Mercedes that just got stolen
just what I need
wish I wish I wish I may
I coulda been somebody
wish I wish I wish I might
maybe another life

Not everyone is running a race
that's never done
for someone without a face
everyone is running in place
look before it's too late

A limousine to the top of the hill
that's what it's not
a one-way ticket to Palookaville
that's what I've got
wish I wish I wish I may
I coulda been somebody
wish I wish I wish I might
don't want to fight that fight
