That Could Be You Lyrics

That Could Be You ? Blue Highway
Blue Highway
That Could Be You (1999)
(Wayne Taylor)
From: "Blue Highway"
For twenty years he made his living in an east Kentucky mine
When friends would ask how things were going
He could say he was doing fine
Then, the mine closed down and he had to leave
That big house up on the ridge
Now he sleeps in a cardboard box
Underneath the sixth street bridge
And that could be you
That could be you
But for the grace of God,
That could be you

She hasn't seen the man who swore he loved her
For almost thirteen years
After six long months of crying,
She ran out of tears
Now all her pride has been forsaken
For dreams that won't come true
She knows minimum wage won't feed her kids
So she does what she has to do
And that could be you
That could be you
But for the grace of God,
That could be you

Remember all the homeless families, all the battered wives
All the children who go to sleep hungry, night after night
Cause that could be you
That could be you
But for the grace of God,
That could be you
But for the grace of God,
That could be you
