If It Was Me - Sentury

I spent half my life down a dead end road This honky tonk living, is all I know I'm a roughneck who's wrote a few songs I gave it all I got to have what's on my back It's a hard-earned dollar when you make your own path Ask my babies I never had my own 'Cause if it was easy, I guess we'd all do it if it was guaranteed If there was nothing to lose but the struggle Oh, the struggle's what makes you strong 'Cause it's not like me, to lay down and die, no Not after all the things that I've saw Yeah, it keeps me hanging on That's what it takes to follow a song I've been in some places I never should've gone Did a little bit of right, and a whole lot of wrong I was hell-bound, Lord knows I didn't stand a chance But he sent me an angel who was there all along She's still waiting there right back at home And these other girls, Lord knows I never give 'em a second glance 'Cause if it was easy, I guess we'd all do it if it was guaranteed If there was nothing to lose but the struggle Oh, the struggle's what makes you strong 'Cause it's not like me, to lay down and die, no Not after all the things that I've saw Yeah, it keeps me hanging on That's what it takes to follow a song 'Cause if it was easy, I guess we'd all do it if it was guaranteed If there was nothing to lose but the struggle Oh, the struggle's what makes you strong 'Cause it's not like me, to lay down and die, no Not after all the things that I've saw Yeah, it keeps me hanging on That's what it takes to follow a song

I was down in music city 'bout a week ago I wanted to see the Grand Ole Opry show, So I hailed a cab and I headed down to Opryland They said they sold their last ticket the day before, So I kinda just hung around the backstage door And down the steps she came, man oh man My favorite female country star, She waved to her fans and headed for her car Her tire, unlike her body, was very flat She said, could you change my tire I said your wish is my desire As she raised the lid, I grabbed her bumper jack She said I sure do appreciate ya changing my tire If I told you who it was, if I told you who it was You'd say I was making it up You've seen her on the screen and in country magazines You'd think I was making it up She said it was our little secret and by golly, I'm gonna keep it Anyway you wouldn't believe it if I told you who it was She said you need a lift and I said well, You can drop me of at the York motel, So we headed down Briley Parkway into town I told her I got all your records ma'am, She smiled and said well I be damned Say, you're kind of cute fella, wanna mess around?
