Verse 1:
I've been unconscious
I've been all kinds of things that are hard to spell
Speakin' truly
I've been so cool i couldn't hardly even stand myself
Verse 2:
Without a sponsor
I've been Dr. Jekill and Mr. Hyde
I've been a loner
And when my mixture was right
Hell,i'm a nice bunch of guys
Chorus:
Verse 3:
I was a shaker
You had a girlfriend
I tried to snake her
I've been delirious
I've been so weird it would have killed a normal man
Verse 4:
I wanted power
I want a monument
Kind of like the Eiffel Tower
I've been lost in space
And when i fall in love
I fall all over the place
Chorus.
Verse 5:
Verse 6:
I was an in-law
I was a scapegoat
That was the last straw
Singin' my way
But it wound up sounding like you'll never walk alone
Verse 7:
Reflected glory
Is the way that i've been seein' for most of my life
Up in the rafter
But i never ever thought that the joke was on meIt Is What It Is Chords by The Highwaymen
