Lyrics
You could've been more
Than a name on the door
On the 33rd floor in the air
More than a credit card
Swimming pool in the backyard
While you still have the time
You could get away and find
A better life, you know the grind
Is so ungrateful
Racing cars, whisky bars
No one cares who you really are
You're the keeper of the cards
Yes, I know it gets hard
Keeping the wheels turning
And the wife, she keeps the keys
She is so pleased to be
A part of the arrangement
You could've been more
Than a name on the door
On the 33rd floor in the air
More than a consumer
Lying in some room, trying to die
More than a credit card
Swimming pool in the backyard
You could've been more
Than a name on the door
You could've been more
Than a name on the door
You could've been more
You could've been more
You could've been more
Writer(s): Joni Mitchell
