If I Could

Lyrics

[Verse 1] If I could make my livin' going 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 workin' clothes, 'cause I ain't Makin' money goin' fishin' like they're payin' at the factory [Verse 2] If I could pay all these bills with my guitar Then I would pay these bills with some rock an' roll Put food on the table, pay the money to the landlord Buy some workin' clothes, 'cause I ain't Makin' money playin' guitar like they're payin' at the factory [Chorus: Ray Benson, Band] If I could (If I could!) Then I would (Then I would!) Make money doin' somethin' that I love And I'd thank my lucky stars above [Verse 3] 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 workin' clothes, 'cause I ain't Makin' money makin' love like they're payin' at the factory [Chorus: Ray Benson, Band] If I could (If I could!) Then I would (Then I would!) Make money doin' somethin' that I love I'd thank my lucky stars above [Verse 4] If I could spend my time makin' birdies Then I would spend my time playin' golf all day Put food on the table, pay the money to the landlord Buy some workin' clothes, 'cause I ain't Makin' money goin' golfin' like they're payin' at the factory [Verse 5] If I could make my livin' playin' fiddle Then I would make my livin' fiddlin' around all the day Put food on the table, pay the money to the landlord Buy some workin' clothes, 'cause I ain't Makin' money playin' fiddle like they're payin' at the factory [Refrain] Put food on the table, pay the money to the landlord Buy some workin' clothes, 'cause I ain't Makin' money doin' nothin' like they're payin' at the factory
