about

The title came from an overheard conversation in a coffee shop. The rest was artistic licence

lyrics

So I hear you found somebody new.
And he’s all you’ll ever need.
Two cars on the driveway
And the latest in all things.

Yeah he works a nine to five.
Spends the weekends with the kids
While you play the good wife
And give him all he needs.

Don’t you miss the times when we went out
Never home before the Dawn
Your Dad would ball us out.

Well it should have been me
There to catch you when you fall
To hold you in the dead of night
When those demons call
Well it should have been
It should have been me.

Church every Sunday count your blessings before the lord.
But I bet your pretty heart still aches
For a Harley ride at dawn
Catch up with the girlfriends take a break from all your chores.
But this little white picket fence
Can’t hold a heart as wild as yours.

Don’t you miss the times when we rode out
Never home before the dawn
Your Dad would scream and shout.

Well it should have been me
There to catch you when you fall
To hold you in the dead of night
When those demons call
It should have been me
Who watched you waltz on down the aisle
Our first dance oh just a glance
To see our first born smile
It should have been me
It should have been me.

I can stay right here forever
And I can mend your broken wings
Just one shout and I’ll come running
I wanna hear they caged bird sing
It should have been me

It should have been me
Who rode the Harley all night long
With you in the dive bar when the cover band played our song
It should have been me that you watched walk down the aisle
Who promised you forever
Hand in hand and mile by mile

It should have been me
It should have been me……
