Where Would I Be Lyrics
Where would I be
If I hadn't spent that summer
Waiting tables in my hometown?
Oh, where, where would I be?
If I hadn't spilled your drink
And you never asked me out
[Pre-Chorus: Hillary Scott]
Would I even know the magic
Of something meant to be
[Chorus: Hillary Scott & Charles Kelly]
Where would I be without your love
And what would I do if I woke up
One day and found out this was all a dream?
Where would I be without your soul?
Reminding me I'm always home
As long as I can hear your melody
God only knows
If you never found me
Wherе would I be?
Whoa, whoa, whoa
[Verse 2: Charles Kelly with Hillary Scott]
Where would I bе
If I never been to Georgia
Played that bar on Athens street?
Oh where, where would I go?
If you ever left, I'd never make it
One day on my own
'Cause baby, no one knows me like you do
(No one knows me like you do)
You're the one thing in this world that I can't lose
[Chorus: Hillary Scott & Charles Kelly]
Where would I be without your love
And what would I do if I woke up
One day and found out this was all a dream?
And where would I be without your soul
Reminding me I'm always home?
As long as I can hear your melody
God only knows
If you never found me
Where would I be?
Whoa, whoa, whoa
[Bridge: Charles Kelly, (Hilary Scott), Both]
Without your kiss, without your laugh (Without your laugh)
Without your life, where would I be? (Where would I be?)
Without your hand in mine
Without you here, where would I be?
[Chorus: Hillary Scott & Charles Kelly]
Where would I be without your love
And what would I do if I woke up
One day and found out this was all a dream?
Oh, where would I be without your soul?
Reminding me I'm always home
As long as I can hear your melody
God only knows
If you never found me
Where would I be?
Whoa, whoa, whoa (Oh-oh)
Where would I be? Where would I be? Oh

Charles Kelley:
I feel like that one has a very quintessential Lady A sound to it. And that was the only track off this project that we didn’t write; I got sent that. I hear it as obviously a relationship thing: ‘Where would I be without your love?’ to a spouse or a partner, but it also is ‘Where would I be if I wasn’t in that bar that day when Hillary walked up and had heard my music on Myspace? Where would I be if Dave hadn’t moved to Nashville?’ Because I think about it a lot. I probably, after a few years of struggling, would have just said, ‘Screw it. I’m going back home, packing my bags up and giving this dream up.’ So there’s a lot of parallels, too, with that song.
