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
