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 in a factory
If I could pay all these bills with my guitar
Then I would pay these bills with some rock 'n' roll
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 in a factory
Well, 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 going fishing
Like I'm paid in a factory
Play that guitar
Well, 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 going fishing
Like I'm paid in a factory
Come on, y'all
Well, 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 going fishing
Like I'm paid in a factory
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 in a factory
