 R.J. Johnson/B. Lee
When I was a kid I was best
at whatever I did
When I was a kid I was smart,
at the top of the class
When I was a lad I was
sure I had the world in my hands
I was my own
teacher I had my own plan
I could have been an
athlete could have trained all the time
Been
just like the others could have left them
behind
But I was too lazy I could not see
ahead
All I thought of was music that was
filling my head
I could have been a painter
painting life in a rush
All I saw in a day on
canvas with my brush
But I was just painting
my life in a song
Getting all the chords right
getting all the words wrong
I could have been a
writer with a back catalogue
Full of stories of
crimes, sex and beer, girls and drugs
But
instead I was writing my first song so bad
On
the cheapest guitar that the music store
had
'Cos instead I strummed on
guitars
Instead I wasted my time
And I
strummed on guitars
I could have been a lawyer
defending some guy
With a paycheck so big for
my heart paid to lie
But instead I was keeping
the truth to myself
In the records I placed one
by one on my shelf
I could have been a
champion, man of the year
Wave to the crowd as
they scream and cheer
But here I am playing to
people sat down
Nursing their beers while I
play the clown
And instead I strummed on
guitars
Instead I wasted my time
And I
strummed on guitars
I could have been a racing
car driver speed mad
Seeking the thrills that
my youth never had
But instead I was busy
enjoying my age
With teen punk rock anthems
and hearts paid to rage
I could have been a
scientist, doctor or man
With a stethoscope
diagnosing ladies' old hands
But instead I
built fret-callous fingertip scars
On my ten
year old hands meant for toy ships and
cars
And instead I strummed on
guitars
Instead I wasted my time
Strummed
on guitars
I could have been so much
But I
wasted my time on useless guitars
I could have
been so much
But I'm not
And I'm glad
And
I'm glad
'Cos when I was a kid I was best at
whatever I did
