Kathy Mar Shoulda Lyrics

Shoulda Lyrics

I should have been poor white trash,



But I had too much education.



I would have been a long-hair,



But it just refused to grow.



I could have been president,



But I had all the wrong relationships:



Loose lips, juicy gossips, people I don't know.



 



I should have been mother-of-the-year,



But I forgot which end to paddle.



I would have been a waitress,



But I didn't hold my tongue.



I could have been a desert guide,



But I got bitten by a rattlesnake.



Tough break, hope and heartache wasted on the young.







Bridge:	Oh, rock me easy.



	Roll me like a wave.



	Rock my soul in the bosom of the sea;



	There's nothing left to save.



	Meet you on the other side of the grave.







I should have been Diamond Lil,



But I'm a second-hand attraction.



I would have learned my lessons,



But I never had the class.



I could have been poor white trash,



But I'm a renegade reactionary:



Wary, slightly scary with a heart of glass.
