If I Had the Money

If I had the money I would buy us a house.

It wouldn’t be a lot, but It would be ours

I’d buy myself a brand new car

And it’d be much safer than my last one was and

I’d take you anywhere, no matter how far.

If I had the money I would buy us a shop

We’d sell the weird and wonderful

You’d pick the stock.

I’d just work the front of house and we’d build our business up from the ground.

And we’d be happy whether it worked out or not.

And maybe in the future, but for today

I’m working just to get paid

If I had the time, we would travel the world

We’d see things we’d only dreamt of and we could frame ‘em as well

Share memories on the mantel piece

of when we watched the sun rise on a beautiful beach and

we’d have a million stories to tell as well.

If I had the time, I would buy us a dog

And where ever we’d go, you know, he’d be tagging along

He’d be there when we got home

and we’d forget our feelings of being alone and

he’d be there no matter what we did wrong.

And maybe in the future, but for today

I’m working just to get paid

And maybe in the future, but so far,

I’m still paying for this guitar.
