If I Could, lyric by John Prine

from the songs album Live On Tour


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
