If I Could Buy Me Some Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
