Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If it was up to me
The fish would all be bitin'
The words would not need writin'
They'd just fall out of my pen
[Verse 2]
If it was up to me
My bank account would have more zeroes
I'd be friends with all my heroes
And they'd call me now and then
[Verse 3]
If it was up to me
I'd live out by the sea
And order extra rum with every single drink
[Verse 4]
I'd let it and the waves
Drown your memory
If it was up to me
[Verse 5]
If it was up to me
We'd all be driving eighty
I'd be livin' like they paid me
Instead of working to get paid
[Verse 6]
If it was up to me
My mistakes would not outlive me
And everyone could just forgive me
For all the ones I've made
[Verse 7]
If it was up to me
I'd have my own money tree
And I'd buy all the things that I don't really need
They'd help me not to think
About how we used to be
If it was up to me
[Verse 8]
If it was up to me
The Stros would win the season
And I'd have every reason to go out and paint the town
[Verse 9]
If it was up to me
This life would be so easy
Everyone would aim to please me
And they'd never let me down
[Verse 10]
If it was up to me
I'd have no enemies
I'd receive the grace I need without apology
And no one that I love
Would ever have to leave
If it was up to me
But it's not up to me
