Ryan Shupe & The Rubberband - If You Could Lead A Different Life lyrics

Charlie headed out on highway 101 today Drove an old Cadillac with California plates None of the orderlies knew at 3 A.M That they would never see old Charlie again And nobody from his family ever knew That he was feeling oh so, so, so blue They packed his bags and left him there Salvador had a dream the other night Crossed the river in the rain by the pale moon light None of the border guards knew at 3 A.M That they would never see Salvador again And when his mother came in she found a note Fell to her knees and exclaimed a mi dios Please bless my child on his way If you could live a different life would you If you could live a different life could you If you could live a different life would you, could you, would you Out the window rosa ran to anywhere Tired of explaining how she'd only fallen down the stairs And Rosa's father did not know at 3 A.M That he would never see his own daughter again She ran faster than the black and blue Ran faster that his two fists flew And she swore she'd never see his face again If you could live a different life would you If you could live a different life could you If you could live a different life would you, could you, would you And in a vision somewhere there's an ocean And waiting there's a boat to sail And sometimes I feel I've a notion That I'm already there And in a vision somewhere there's a mountain And on the top a plane to fly And if I had the strength to reach the summit Then I would try before I die If you could live a different life would you If you could live a different life could you If you could live a different life would you, could you, would you
