We were sitting 'round the table
At the Tuesday poker game
Solvin' all the problems of the world

Tryin' to draw an inside straight
And Jimmy posed the question
As he played a pair of kings

If you could be anyone in this whole world
Who would you be


Would you be Elvis, shaking up Memphis
Making all the young girls scream
Would you make a speech that would

Change the world like Martin Luther King
Go down in history like Abe Lincoln
Cause you set a country free

If you could be anyone in this holw world
Tell me, who would you be


Hank said, I'd be a cowboy
Someone like John Wayne
Johnny said, Hey pilgrim

Blow that cigar smoke the other way
Said he'd make a million dollars
Pitchin' in the major leagues

Then he stared straight into
aul's bloodshot eyes and said
Who would you be


Would you be John Lennon
Can you imagine giving hope with just a song

Would you be the Babe, pointin' that bat
Saying, This one's going long
Maybe Moses, partin' the waters

Saying, Children follow me
If you could be anyone in this whole world
Tell me, who would you be


I knew those boys would roll their eyes
When they heard what I had to say

But I shuffled the cards and said, Deuces wild
And I told them anyways


I'd be a father who had all the answers
To every question my kids had
I'd learn every word on that coffee cup

That said, World's Greatest Dad
Be a perfect husband to that woman
Who means everything to me

If I could be anyone in this whole world
That's who I'd be


Yeah, that's who I'd be
