If I Had the Money

If I had the money I would buy us a house
It wouldn’t be a lot, but It would be ours
I’d buy myself a brand new car
And it’d be much safer than my last one was
And, I’d take you anywhere, no matter how far
If I had the money I would buy us a shop
We’d sell the weird and wonderful
You’d pick the stock
I’d just work the front of house and we’d build our business up from the ground
And we’d be happy whether it worked out or not
And maybe in the future, but for today
I’m working just to get paid
If I had the time, we would travel the world
We’d see things we’d only dreamt of and we could frame ‘em as well
Share memories on the mantel piece
Of when we watched the sun rise on a beautiful beach
And, we’d have a million stories to tell as well
If I had the time, I would buy us a dog
And where ever we’d go, you know, he’d be tagging along
He’d be there when we got home and we’d forget our feelings of being alone
And, he’d be there no matter what we did wrong
And maybe in the future, but for today
I’m working just to get paid
And maybe in the future, but so far
I’m still paying for this guitar
