I was battle-torn and worn
I was ravaged by scores of arrows
Thought about it for a little while (Oh yeah)
Realized I could walk away someday

A rack of ties, a travel mug
Telephone, briefcase filled with papers
I thought about it for a little while (Oh yeah)
Realized I could leave the way I came

Oh my goodness
Oh my my
It could've happened to me

At a border town I learned to keep my hat brim down
Never talk to strangers
Thought about it for a little while (Oh yeah)
Realized I was only a drop in rain

A rack of ties, a travel mug
Telephone, briefcase full of papers
I thought about it for a little while (Oh yeah)
Realized I was only a link in a chain
Game, babe

Always took that advice
I watched them lay down on the altar
Just like human sacrifices
Oh my goodness
Oh my my
It could've happened to me
Oh my goodness
Oh my my
It could've happened to me

Oh my goodness
Oh my my
It could've happened to me
