[Verse 1]
EIf I could make my living going fiAshing
Then I would mEake my living with a lBine and pole
Put fEood on the table pay the money to the landlord
BAuy some working clothes
Cause I ain't maEking money going fishing
Like I'm pBaid at the facEtory
[Verse 2]
EIf I could pay all these bills with my guAitar
Then I would pEay these bills with some rBock and roll
Put fEood on the table pay the money to the landlord
BAuy some working clothes
Cause I ain't maEking money playing guitar
Like I'm pBaid at the facEtory
[Chorus]
Now if I cAould (if I could)
Then I woEuld (then I would)
Make moF#ney doing something that I love
I'd thBank my lucky stars above
[Verse 3]
If EI could just get by loving yAou dear
Then I would juEst get by making loBve to you
Put fEood on the table pay the money to the landlord
BuAy some working clothes
