Warren Haynes - Tattoos and Cigarettes lyrics

Tattoos and cigarettes A savior never stands out in a crowd Beaten up with past regrets He stands out on the corner, talking loud He says, "If I find my luck's turned to sevens I'd have a family vault full of four-leaf clover. There's one way to get to heaven: You gotta make 'em pay without rolling over." Well, I could've been an astronaut Could've been a movie star Could've been anything I wanted to be Could've learned to laugh a lot Could've learned to call the shots Could've been anything but something like me Got a brand new alphabet Several letters from a name I used to own And the sunshine here always puts me to the test But in the darkness I can slip away alone In the neighborhood where I used to play The girl next door now she's all grown up People 'round here, Lord, they just won't let me have my say They say, "Scapegoat on the flipside of luck" Well, I could've been an astronaut Could've been a movie star Could've been anything I wanted to be Could've learned to laugh a lot Could've learned to call the shots Could've been anything but something like me Rusty scenes seem to fade away And sometimes I can't remember what I saw
