If I Could

If I could make my livin' goin' fishin'
Then I would make my livin' with a line and pole
Put food on the table
Pay the money to the landlord
Buy some working clothes
'Cause I ain't makin' money goin' fishin'
Like they're payin' at the factory

If I could pay all these bills with my guitar
Then I would pay these bills with some rock 'n' roll
Put food on the table
Pay the money to the landlord
Buy some working clothes
'Cause I ain't makin' money playin' guitar
Like they're payin' at the factory

If I could
Then I would
Make money doin' something that I love
I thank my lucky stars above

If I could just get by lovin' you, dear
Then I would just get by makin' love to you
Put food on the table
Pay the money to the landlord
Buy some working clothes
'Cause I ain't makin' money makin' love
Like they're payin' at the factory

Well if I could
Then I would
Make money doin' something that I love
I thank my lucky stars above

If I could make my livin' goin' fishin'
Then I would make my livin' with a line and pole
Put food on the table
Pay the money to the landlord
Buy some working clothes
'Cause I ain't makin' money goin' fishin'
Like they're payin' at the factory

Put food on the table
Pay the money to the landlord
Buy some working clothes
'Cause I ain't makin' money playin' guitar
Like they're payin' at the factory

Put food on the table
Pay the money to the landlord
Buy some working clothes
'Cause I ain't makin' money makin' love
Like they're payin' at the factory
