Douglas Ray Jaffe - Riding That Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda Train Lyrics

I should have been a doctor, I could have saved a life
I would have done this town some good
Something is missing, I can't explain
Fighting for power, looking for blame
Watching them destroy everything
Riding that shoulda, coulda, woulda train
I should have been a farmer, I could have grown wheat and grain
I would have kept people from starving
Guess they grow numb, numb from the pain
Swallowed by a world gone insane
I'm leaving Broadway and Main
Riding that shoulda, coulda, woulda train
I should have been a gambler, I could have won a million bucks
I would have given it all to charity
All human beings, all the same
Pretending to be what we claim
Going broke for fortune, fortune and fame
Riding that shoulda, coulda, woulda train
I should have been a Juliet, I could have found Romeo
Would have raised a family
I was like a lion, I couldn't be tamed
Never planned to be what I became
Riding that shoulda, coulda, woulda train
No matter if you're Abel, no matter if you're Cain
No matter if you're fancy or plain
Ruled by the heart, or ruled by the brain
We're trapped, circling life in vain
Riding that shoulda, coulda, woulda train
Riding that shoulda, coulda, woulda train
The whole world's riding that shoulda, coulda, woulda train
