Lyrics

70 Excuses

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 could've been a doctor were not for degree

I could've been a winner were not for defeat

I could've been richer were not for the taxes

I could've been a scholar were not for classes

I could've been a rebel were not for a cause

I could've been employed were not for the boss

I could've been loved [x8]

We could've been artists were not for the muse

We could've been on time were not for excuses

We could've been diamonds were not for the penny

We could've been special were not for the many

We could've been patient were not for the waiting

We could've been committed were not for the stain

We could've been loved [x8]

I still love your views and cup your inner views

Got me playing detective searching for some clues

I wanted to take you home show you where I've grown

Coffee down in kenya then the swimming cameron

But you're in california working on your script

Young and beautiful just want to make the most of it

You could've been loved [x8]

I could've been free were not for the past

I could've been first place were in not for the last
