Jim White

Michael Davis Pratt (born March 10, 1957) known professionally as Jim White, is a Southern American singer-songwriter and guitarist. White's music can be loosely described as alternative country, but veers off in different, sometimes experimental directions with occasional nods[citation needed] to Tom Waits and the literary narratives of Flannery O'Connor, Cormac McCarthy, and Harry Crews. more »

Where would I be if I was not myself
What would I be doing right now
Would I be an old man saying my prayers
Or a nun dreaming of some football players
Would I be walking down the street in Paris, France
Shooting the shit with Anais Nin
Making fun of all her complicated ideas
I wonder where would I be without you

And where would I be if I was not so poor
Would I be any happier than I am now
I mean how much money could I stuff in my brain
Before I went completely crazy
Become a homeless man in a snowstorm.
Singing mule train like Boxcar Willie
Just laughing at the terrible hunger that I feel
I wonder where would I be without you

And where would I be if my parents never met
Would I have been born in Africa
And if I caught a glimpse of my possible self
Would I reach out to embrace the hand
Of that man in the center of the fire
That joker from God's black car
That laughing Buddah from Cleveland
I wonder where would I be without you
