Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews - Dancing Nancies (in album Live At Red Rocks 81595) Lyrics

Don't you ever wonder,

Maybe if things had been slightly different

You could be somebody else

Don't you wonder, maybe...

If you took a left turn instead of taking a right, You could be somebody different

Don't you ever wonder... Could I have been...?

Don't you ever wonder, anyone, anyone?

Don't you ever wonder, "Well, God, could I have been...?"

Don't you ever wonder, anyone, anyone?



Could I have been...

A parking lot attendant?

Could I have been...

A millionaire in Bel Air?

Could I have been...

Lost somewhere at Red Rocks?

Could I have been...

Your little sister?

Could I have been...

Anyone other than me?

Could I have been...

Anyone other than me?

Could I have been...

Anyone other than me?

Could I have been...

Anyone?



He stands touch his hair, his shoes untied

Tongue gaping stare

Could I have been a magnet for money?

Could I have been anyone other than me?



Twenty three and so tired of life

Such a shame to throw it all away

The images grow darker still

Could I have been anyone other than me?

And then I...



Look up at the sky

My mouth is open wide, lick and taste

What's the use in worrying, what's the use in hurrying

Turn, turn we almost become dizzy



I am who I am who I am, well, who am I?

Requesting some enlightenment...

Could I have been anyone other than me?



Sing and dance I'll play for you tonight

The thrill of it all

Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes

But I'll work it out...

And then I...



Look up at the sky

My mouth is open wide, lick and taste

What's the use in worrying, what's the use in hurrying

Turn, turn we almost become dizzy



Falling out of a world of lies

Could I have been a dancing nancie?

...A dancing nancie?

Could I have been anyone other than me?



And then I'll...



Sing and dance... la la la la hey (repeat as necessary)

Sing and dance, I'll play for you tonight,

The thrill of it all

Dark clouds may hang over me sometimes,

But I'll work it out...

And then I'll...



Look up at the sky

My mouth is open wide, lick and taste

What's the use in worrying, what's the use in hurrying

Turn, turn we almost become dizzy
