I remember back in school, had dreams in my head
Coulda been a rock star, stayed in bed instead
Skipped out on the big chance, yeah, I missed my call
Woulda made a move, but I was scared to fall
Coulda asked her on a date, but I played it cool
Shoulda taken bigger risks, instead'a playin' a fool
Now I'm lookin' back, what the hell was I thinkin
Shoulda grabbed life, instead of sittin' 'round drinkin
Woulda, coulda, shoulda, yeah, that's my song
Missed my chances, now they're all long gone
Coulda been someone, shoulda made my mark
But now I'm just a middle-aged dude feeding birds in the park
Woulda, coulda, shoulda, that's my refrain
But I'll tell you now, it doesn't help to complain
Coulda traveled the world, seen the coolest sights
But I stayed in my town, wastin' night after night
Woulda learned to play guitar, joined a metal band
But I was too damned scared, had my head in the sand
Shoulda told my old boss to take a hike
Coulda chased my dreams, lived a life I like
But now I'm sittin' here with pent-up regrets
Woulda changed it all, too late now, I guess
Woulda, coulda, shoulda, yeah, that's my song
Missed my chances, now they're all long gone
Coulda been someone, shoulda made my mark
But now I'm just a middle-aged dude feeding birds in the park
Woulda, coulda, shoulda, that's my refrain
But I'll tell you now, it doesn't help to complain
Coulda been a hero, woulda saved the day
Shoulda been bold, shoulda found a way
Now I'm lookin' back, and what do I see
A bunch of missed chances staring back at me
Woulda, coulda, shoulda, yeah, that's my song
Missed my chances, now they're all long gone
Coulda been someone, shoulda made my mark
But now I'm just a middle-aged dude feeding birds in the park
Woulda, coulda, shoulda, that's my refrain
But I'll tell you now, it doesn't help to complain
Coulda traveled the world, seen the coolest sights
But I stayed in my town, wastin' night after night
Woulda learned to play guitar, joined a metal band
But I was too damned scared, had my head in the sand
Shoulda told my old boss to take a hike
Coulda chased my dreams, lived a life I like
But now I'm sittin' here with pent-up regrets
Woulda changed it all, too late now, I guess
Woulda changed it all, too late now, I guess
Coulda been a hero, woulda saved the day
Shoulda been bold, shoulda found a way
Now I'm lookin' back, and what do I see
A bunch of missed chances staring back at me
Woulda, coulda, shoulda, but I guess that's alright
