Lyrics You Could Be Me - The Del McCoury Band

Well you tell me you've got troubles, that you're feelin' low down
You say you've got more problems than anybody else in town
Well, friend I'm here to tell you that you shouldn't feel so sad
'Cause things could be worse, Lord,
You could be me, and buddy that's bad
'Cause I could tell you things about
My life man you just could not beleive
Like that story about the woman I love and how she's treated me
Well, I've lost my job,
I can't find work, no my car won't start, no my...
So when things get bad, don't feel so sad 'cause you could be me
I get tired of hearin' everybody always complain
They walk around with a frown on
Their face, it all starts to sound the same
If they just had to live this life I've led, then feel the way I do
They'd be so doggone happy to be
Themself they'd change their whole attitude
'Cause it don't matter what comes along I've got news for you
There ain't nothin' that could happen I ain't already been through
If I had to write a song about my life for
You, no doubt about it I'd be singing the blues
So when things get bad, don't feel so sad 'cause you could be me
If I had to write a song about my life for
You, no doubt about it I'd be singing the blues
So when things get bad, don't feel so sad 'cause you could be me
Lord have mercy you don't want to be me
