If I Could Lyrics by John Prine

If I Could Lyrics

    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 above
    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

    Repeat 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

    Repeat 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
