Description
Director: Jason Mullen of Mascari Motion. I could’ve been Elvis, they say I got good looks. But you see now none of that matters, if you ain’t got any good hooks (like this one) ... I was born too late,..I could’ve been great ... Yeah, I could’ve been Johnny Cash, cause I can sing real low. I sure as hell can get real drunk and show up late to all of my shows. I could’ve been John Lennon, yeah I’d give peace a chance. I’d make amends with Paul and tell Yoko NO not to sing with the band ...
Lyrics
I could’ve been great / But I was born too late / Now I’ll never know / Just what could’ve been / Or what should’ve been / (now listen) // I could’ve been Elvis / They say I got good looks / But you see now none of that matters / If you ain’t got any good hooks / (like this one) // (hook) I was born too late / I was born too late / I could’ve been great / I was born too late / I was born too late / I could’ve been great // Yeah, I could’ve been Johnny Cash / ‘cause I can sing real low / I sure as hell can get real drunk / And show up late to all of my shows // I could’ve been John Lennon / Yeah I’d give peace a chance / I’d make amends with Paul / And tell Yoko NO not to sing with the band // (hook) // Yeah I was born too late / Born too late! / Born too late / Now I’ll just wait... I’ll just wait // (solo) / Now I’ll just sit here in my living room / Worrying about the times ahead / But you see now it gets harder and harder / Just to know what to say next // So here’s to all you musicians / And to those shakin’ your fi st at me / I’m gonna keep on singin’ and playin’ / From now ‘till the end of history // (hook) // Yeah I was born too late / Born too late! / Born too late / Now I’ll just wait...I’ll just wait
