Anybody's Life Lyrics

Walking through this town I used to know

The common's under two feet of fresh snow

Christmas lights are everywhere I see

And it reminds me of how I used to be

In 86 I was barely ten years old

I went to school and did as I was told

I had a crush on the girl that lived next door

She didn't like me but I kept on trying for more

This could be anybody's life

This could be anybody's town

But this was mine

And how it all worked out

Became a teen and I found a girl to love

As well as any teenager could love

She wore my jacket and let me in her heart

But it all ended just like everything falls apart

This could be anybody's life

This could be anybody's girl

But she was mine

And at the time she was my world

After school I found myself in debt

Collecting envelopes from every bill I'd get

I got a job and I tried to work it off

Indentured to my job but it was never enough

This could be anybody's life

This could be anybody's debt

But this was mine

And I could never drink enough to forget

I lost my job cause my head hurt bad

I couldn't do the work or live the life I had

My wife had told me that she's see me through this time

But in the end

I always push away the love in my life

This could be anybody's life

This could be anybody's fall

But this was mine and as the saying goes folks that's all
