Dancing Nancies

Written by Dave Matthews
Performed by Dave Matthews Band

Don't you ever wonder
Maybe if things had been slightly different
You could be somebody else?
Don't you wonder maybe
If you took a left turn
Instead of taking a right
You could be somebody different?

Don't you ever wonder
Could I have been
Don't you ever wonder?
Anyone, anyone
Don't you ever wonder?
Don't you ever wonder?
Anyone, anyone, anyone

Could I have been a parking lot attendant?
Could I have been millionaire in Bel Air?
Could I have been lost somewhere at Red Rocks?
Could I have been your little sister?

Could I have been anyone other than me?
Could I have been anyone other than me?
Could I have been anyone other than me?
Could I have been anyone?

He stands, touch his hair, his shoes untied
Tongue gaping stare
Could I have been a magnet for money?
Could I have been anyone other than me?

Twenty three and so tired of life
Such a shame to throw it all away
The images grow darker still
Could I have been anyone other than me? Then I

Look up at the sky
My mouth is open wide, lick and taste
What's the use in worrying, what's the use in hurrying?
Turn, turn we almost become dizzy

I am who I am, who I am well, who am I?
Requesting some enlightenment
Could I have been anyone other than me?

Sing and dance, I'll play for you tonight
The thrill of it all
Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes
But I'll work it out then I

Look up at the sky
My mouth is open wide, lick and taste
What's the use in worrying, what's the use in hurrying
Turn, turn we almost become dizzy

Falling out of a world of lies
Could I have been dancing Nancy?
A dancing Nancy
Could I have been anyone other than me?

And then I'll sing and dance, la-la-la hey
La-la-la hey, la-la-la
Sing and dance, la-la-la hey
La-la-la hey, la-la-la
Sing and dance, I'll play for you tonight

The thrill of it all
Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes
But I'll work it out then I

Look up at the sky
My mouth is open wide, lick and taste
What's the use in worrying, what's the use in hurrying?
Turn, turn we almost become dizzy
