If I Could Make a Livin' Drinkin' Lyrics


Holding down a job too long
Ain't never been my forte
Soon as I'm hired I end up fired
For showing up too lateI ain't too good at hammer swinging
Or slapping on that pane
But I'm highly skilled and qualified
For doing just one thingYeah, if I could make a living drinking
I'd be rolling in the dough
Chug my way up the corporate ladder
I'd be the boss in no time at allI'd be richer than Oprah Winfrey
If I had a nickel for every beer
Yeah, if I could make a living drinking
I'd be employee of the yearI'd never call in sick
Wouldn't mind all this working overtime
I'd be too busy boozing to every join a union
I'd never run up a picket lineI'd work through my lunch hour
Wouldn't never retire
Never touch my 401K

If you do what you love and you love what you do
You'll never work a single dayYeah, if I could make a living drinking
I'd be rolling in the dough
Chug my way up the corporate ladder
I'd be the boss in no time at allI'd be richer than Oprah Winfrey
If I had a nickel for every beer
Yeah, if I could make a living drinking
I'd be employee of the yearYeah, if I could make a living drinking
I'd be rolling in the dough
Chug my way up the corporate ladder
I'd be the boss in no time at allI'd be richer than Oprah Winfrey
If I had a nickel for every beer
Yeah, if I could make a living drinking
I'd be employee of the yearOh, if I could make a living drinking
I'd be employee of the yearYeah, I'd have more money than ol' Bill Gates
I'd be richer than Hugh Hefner
Yeah, I'd have more women than ol' Tiger Woods
Well, maybe not that many, he's got a lot of women
You know that I mean, show me the money

Country-pop may have ruled the charts, but Kevin Fowler established himself impressively throughout Texas by making modest honky tonk-style country for regular folks. Raised in the West Texas town Amarillo, the guitarist began his musical career on both drums and piano. He left Texas at age 20 for the bright lights of Los Angeles, where he studied music at the Guitar Institute of Technology. He returned to Texas soon after and settled in Austin, where he joined the hard rock band Dangerous Toys. Following this eye-opening stint, Fowler started his own Southern hard rock band, Thunderfoot. He soon came to the realization, however, that he couldn't shake his West Texas roots and gave up hard rock for country, the style of music he grew up with.

Fowler put together a country band in 1998 and began playing Tuesday nights at Babe's on Sixth Street in Austin. Within two years, he'd begun recording albums and struck big with his self-released Beer, Bait and Ammo (2000). The album sold around 30,000 copies in the Texas area and garnered an impressive amount of airplay, particularly for the album's title track. The song became somewhat of a Texas anthem; Mark Chesnutt made the song part of his live show, and Sammy Kershaw recorded it. Fowler returned in 2002 with his third album, High on the Hog, and boasted some impressive guests, including Willie Nelson and David Lee Garza.
