Sangtekst: George Canyon. One Good Friend. Who Would You Be.

We were sitting 'round the table
At the Tuesday poker game
Solvin' all the problems of the world
Tryin' to draw an inside straight

Jimmy posed the question
As he played a pair of Kings
"If you could be anyone in this whole world
Who would you be"

"Would you be Elvis, shaking up Memphis
Making all the young girls scream
Would you make a speech that would change the world
Like Martin Luther King"

"Go down in history, like Abe Lincoln
'Cause you set a country free
If you could be anyone in this whole world
Tell me, who would you be?"

Hank said, "I'd be a Cowboy"
Someone like John Wayne
Johnny said, "Hey Pilgram
Blow that cigar, smoke the other way"

Said he'd make a million dollars
Pitchin' in the Major Leagues
Then he stared straight into Paul's bloodshot eyes
And said, "Who would you be?"

"Would you be John Lennon, can you imagine
Giving hope with just a song
Would you be the Babe, pointin' that bat
Saying this ones going long"

"Maybe Moses, partin' the waters
Saying children follow me
If you could be anyone in this whole world
Tell me, who would you be?"

Well, I knew those boys would roll their eyes
When they heard what I had to say
But I shuffled the cards and said, "Deuces wild
And I told them anyways"

"I'd be a father, who had all the answers
To every question my kids had
I'd earn every word on that coffee cup
That said, world's greatest dad"

"Be a perfect husband to that woman
Who means everything to me
If I could be anyone in this whole world
That's who I'd be
Yeah, that's who I'd be"
