If I Could

If I could make my living going fishing
Then I would make my living with a line and pole
Put food on the table, pay the money to the landlord
Buy some working clothes, 'cause I ain't making money going fishing
Like I'm paid at the factory

If I could pay all these bills with my guitar
Then I would pay these bills with some rock and roll
Put food on the table, pay the money to the landlord
Buy some working clothes 'cause I ain't making money playing guitar
Like I'm paid at the factory

If I could (if I could)
Then I would (then I would)
Make money doing something that I love
And I'd thank my lucky stars above

If I could just get by loving you dear
Then I would just get by making love to you
Put food on the table, pay the money to the landlord
Buy some working clothes 'cause I ain't making money, making love
Like I'm paid at the factory

If I could (if I could)
Then I would (then I would)
Make money doing something that I love
I'd thank my lucky stars above

If I could spend my time making birdies
Then I would spend my time playing golf all-day
Put food on the table, pay the money to the landlord
Buy some working clothes 'cause I ain't making money going golfing
Like I'm paid at the factory

If I could make my living playing fiddle
Then I would make my living fiddling around all the day
Put food on the table, pay the money to the landlord
Buy some working clothes 'cause I ain't making money playing fiddle
Like I'm paid at the factory

Put food on the table, pay the money to the landlord
Buy some working clothes 'cause I ain't making money doing nothing
Like I'm paid at the factory
