Could have been a railway main working on the Southern line Could have been a fisherman throwing out my line Could have been a sailor and spent my life at sea But I'm doing what I want to do, I'm happy just being me Could have been a miner somewhere out on a diamond trail Could have worked the telephones mending everybody's bail Could have been a sailor and spent my life at sea But I'm doing what I want to do, I'm happy just being me Could have been a racing driver reading on the drag Or an undertaker making all my calls in black Could have been a sailor, but sailin' ain't for me And I'm doing what I want to do, I'm happy just being me
