There but for fortune

Can anyone paraphrase the chorus "There but for fortune, may go you or go I" of this song by Phil Ochs.

And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why
And there but for fortune, may go you or I
Show me the alley, show me the train,


Show me a hobo who sleeps out in the rain,
And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why
There but for fortune, may go you or go I

Thanks

You and I have been lucky; otherwise, we would be hoboes.
