I was battle-torn and worn
I was ravaged by scores of arrows
Thought about it for a little while
Oh, yeah
Realized I could walk away someday
Rack of ties, a travel mug,
Telephone, a briefcase filled with papers
I thought about it for a little while
Oh, yeah
Realized I could leave the way I came
Oh my goodness
Oh my my
It could've happened to me
In a border town I learned to keep my hat brim down
Never talk to strangers
Thought about it for a little while
Oh, yeah
Realized I was only a drop in rain
Rack of ties, a travel mug,
Telephone, a briefcase full of papers
I thought about it for a little while
Oh, yeah
Realized I was only a link in a chain gang, babe
Always took their advice
I watched them lay down on the altar
Just like human sacrifices
Oh my goodness
Oh my my
It could've happened to me
Oh my goodness
Oh my my
It could've happened to me
Oh my goodness
Oh my my
It could've happened to me
