I Couldn't Be You Lyrics

First of all they come along
And say ""there, put your baby in school""
But I was taught to win this game
You must obey each golden rule
I said that I'm too young to die
And can I wear my cowboy hat
They said ""Wait a minute son
Now that's the end of that""

I said I couldn't be you if you wanted me to
You couldn't be me if I begged you to be

They said that you're a big boy now
It's time to set you free in the world
Don't forget that steady job
And don't forget that steady girl

They said you start at nine o'clock
And then we let you out at five
And if you act very smart
You get a pension when you're 65
