I used to be somebody but now I am somebody else
I used to be somebody but now I am somebody else

Who I might be tomorrow is anybody's guess

What was thought to be the rat race turned out the wrong way after all
What was thought to be the rat race turned out the wrong way after all

What I took to be the high road was only leadin' to a fall

I used to be a preacher, with women, fame, and wealth
I used to be a preacher, with women, fame, and wealth

From a mighty congregation, to talking to myself

I was cleared of all the charges with money, women and my health
I was cleared of all the charges with money, women and my health

Now that I'm a brand-new man, you belong with someone else

I used to be somebody but now I am somebody else
I used to be somebody but now I am somebody else

Who I'll be tomorrow is anybody's guess
