If I were you, I know I would,
Feel the hope, if I could,
But I couldn't think, and I wouldn't go,
To anywhere, too high or low...

And if I were you, and feeling good,
I'd pinch myself, I know I would,
And I'd check the time, and figure out,
How to stay, without a doubt......

I'll be with ya when the sun is gone,
I'll be with ya when you're moving on....

If I were you, and feeling paranoid,
I may check out, and climb aboard,
Some ship or plane, and fuck the rest,
And change my name, and worry less,,,

If I were you, and there wasn't time,
I might watch TV, become a mime,
And I'd really hope, that I'd got it right,
And I'd stay up late, long in the night....

I'll be with ya when the sun is gone....
I'll be with ya when you're moving on.....

And if I were you, I might just go,
And I shouldn't cry, but tears would flow,
Onto my cheeks, into my beer,
And through my veins, into the years.......
