Coulda been my grandpa coulda been my preacher

Coulda been my third grade history teacher

Somebody said it aint I'll never forget it

Mighta Been Dolly Parton Or the Dalai Lama

They were words to the wise

And they hit me right between the eyes





If you wanna write a song Better get a guitar

if you wanna win Daytona Better get you a car

If you wanna be Picasso Better get you some paint

Son, You are what you do

And if you don't then you aint



Cooulda been a stranger coulda been a friend

Coulda been a commentator on CNN

Talkin' through my TV directly at me

Mighta been my butcher Mighta been my baker

Mighta been an outta work undertaker down at the superX

Who gave me this reality check





If you wanna go to heaven You better go to church

If you wanna promotion You better get to work

If you wanna catch the big one Better get you soem bait

Yeah you are what you do

and if you dont then you aint





If you want an education you better stay in school

Get you some sunglasses if you wanna be a saint

Yeah you are what you do

And id you don't then you aint





Yeah you are what you do

and if you don't then you aint
