Somebody Else
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I used to be somebody but now I am somebody else
I used to be somebody but now I am somebody else
Who I might be tomorrow is anybody's guess
What was thought to be the rat race turned out the wrong way after all
What was thought to be the rat race turned out the wrong way after all
What I took to be the high road was only leadin' to a fall
I used to be a preacher, with women, fame, and wealth
I used to be a preacher, with women, fame, and wealth
From a mighty congregation, to talking to myself
I was cleared of all the charges with money, women and my health
I was cleared of all the charges with money, women and my health
Now that I'm a brand-new man, you belong with someone else
I used to be somebody but now I am somebody else
I used to be somebody but now I am somebody else
Who I'll be tomorrow is anybody's guess
