The Things I Might Have Been

Willie Nelson

I might have been a helpless soul 
With nothing much in store
I might have been without a goal 
Just dreams and nothing more
I might have known my life alone 
But that's where you came in
Your loving arms have saved me from 
The things I might have been

I might have been the kind who roams 
A stranger everywhere
Just one of those poor stay-at-homes 
With no one's lips to share
But your sweet kiss has changed all this 
And made my life begin
So keep loving me don't let me be 
The things I might have been
The things I might have been
