"I'd Be You" lyrics

It's funny running into you in this old bar tonight
Everything in me wants to run up and start a fight
'Cause I got kicked to the curb and you got her
The rest is history
But, hey man, I ain't mad at you
But I'm damn sure pissed at me

'Cause if I'd have just been her shoulder
Instead of turning my back
If I'd have swallowed my pride
Instead of shooting that Jack
If I'd had just paid attention
Instead of paying no mind
If I'd have gave her my heart
Instead of hell all the time
I'd be you
Driving her car back to her place
Guess you could say I'd be you
Wreckin' her bed
Stuck on her mind
She'd still be mine
I'd be you

Yeah, hindsight sure don't come with no time machine
And when the day is done I'm the smoking gun
I bet you'd agree
Well if it wasn't for me there wouldn't be no you
Ain't nothing ever been more clear
Yeah, shake my hand, you're welcome man
You oughta buy me a beer

'Cause If I'd have just been her shoulder
Instead of turning my back
If I'd have swallowed my pride
Instead of shooting that Jack
If I'd had just paid attention
Instead of paying no mind
If I'd have gave her my heart
Instead of hell all the time
I'd be you
Driving her car back to her place
Guess you could say I'd be you
Wreckin' her bed
Stuck on her mind
She'd still be mine
I'd be you

I had my chance
But I went and blew it
Now she gone, moved on
Like there's nothing to it
So don't mess with her heart
Or she'll put you on the shelf
You'll end up like me
Thinking to yourself

If I'd have just been her shoulder
Instead of turning my back
If I'd have swallowed my pride
Instead of shooting that Jack
If I'd had just paid attention
Instead of paying no mind
If I'd have gave her my heart
Instead of hell all the time
I'd be you
Driving her car back to her place
Guess you could say I'd be you
Wreckin' her bed
Stuck on her mind
She'd still be mine
I'd be you

(Yeah, I'd be you)
(Yeah)
I'd be you
