If i could make my livin'
Goin' fishing
Then i would make my livin'
With a line and pole
Put food on the table
Give the money to the landlord
Buy some workin' clothes
Cause i ain't
Making money goin' fishing
Like i'm paid in the factory

If i could pay 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 workin' clothes
'cause i ain't
Makin' money goin' fishing
Like i'm paid in the factory

Well if i could (if i could)
Then i would (then i would)
Make money doin' something
That i love
I'll thank my luck stars above

If i could just get by
Lovin' you dear
Then i would just get by
Makin' love to you
Put food on the table
Pay the money to the landlord
Buy some workin' clothes
'cause I ain't
Makin' money makin' love
Like i'm paid in the factory

Well if i could (if i could)
Then i would (then i would)
Make money doin' somethin'
That I love
I'll thank my lucky stars above

If i could just get by
Lovin' you dear
Then i would just get by
Makin' love to you
Put food on the table
Pay the money to the landlord
Buy some workin' clothes
'cause i ain't
Makin' money makin' love
Like i'm paid in the factory

Well If i could (if i could
Then i would (then i would)
Make money doin' somethin'
That i love
I'll thank my lucky stars above

If i could make my livin'
Goin' fishing
Then i would make my money
With a line and pole
Put food on the table
Pay the money to the landlord
Buy some workin' clothes
'cause i ain't
Making money goin' fishin
Like i'm paid in the factory

Put food on the table
Pay the money to the landlord
Buy some workin' clothes
'cause i ain't
Making money going fishin'
Like i'm paid in the factory.
