I'd probably go fishin' a whole lot more
|
Spend every summer some Mexico shore
|
And I'd lie there with nothing but nothing in mind
|
|
And I'd probably go catchin' them big city blues
|
Find out what it's like just to stroll in them shoes
|
Down the sidewalk drunk on that high dollar wine
|
That's what I'd buy if I could buy me some time
|
|
Yeah, and I'd be a cowboy, the wranglin' kind
|
I'd waltz across Texas with my girl each night
|
And we'd make love under a blanket of sky
|
|
Then I'd hit Cape Canaveral middle of June
|
Strap on a rocket and shoot to the moon
|
And I'd have me a beer just watchin' the world float by
|
Yeah, I'd get real high if I could buy me some time
|
|
But lately the world's spinnin' way too fast
|
The bad's catchin' on and the good times don't last
|
Somehow it seems like we've all left livin' behind
|
Oh, but I'd never die if I could buy me some time
|
|
And I'd spend forever bein' a kid
|
And I'd never saw my daddy die when he did
|
And if I could play God, I'd hit rewind
|
And nobody's life would be slower than mine
|
|
'Cause lately the world's spinnin' way too fast
|
The bad's catchin' on and the good times don't last
|
Somehow it seems like we've all left livin' behind
|
Oh, but I'd never die if I could buy me some time
|
Oh, and you'd never die if I could buy you some time
|

If I Could Buy Me Some Time
