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[Chorus:]

Now 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 aboveIf 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[Chorus]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[Chorus]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

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

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.
