I could have gone a few more blocks
Maybe there’s a museum
having an exhibition
that would spark a revelation
and maybe my invention
would start a revolution.
Wouldn’t that be something!?
But then I might have gotten mugged.
-CHORUS
If I hadn’t got off that bus
I wouldn’t be by this fence
Feeding this red-eyed duck
bread I bought for 50 cents.
And I wouldn’t be singing this
if it wasn’t by accident
I wonder what else there is
I might be missing.
I could have gone a few more miles.
Maybe left the city.
Might have met a country gal
who thinks I’m pretty.
Maybe, a few more miles
could have left the country
might have met a foreigner
who thinks I’m funny
Maybe at another place
I would have the saved the day!
Life has a funny way
of casting you in a play.
Good Lord willing,
you don’t have to play the villain.
Cause if you gotta play the villain
then you gotta get away.
