If It Was Up To Me

If it was up to me The fish would all be biting The words would not need writing They'd just fall out of my pen If it was up to me My bank account would have more zeros I'd be friends with all my heroes And they'd call me now and then If it was up to me I'd be living by the sea And order extra rum with every single drink I'd let it and the waves Drown your memory If it was up to me If it was up to me We'd all be driving 80 I'd be living like they paid me Instead of working to get paid If it was up to me My mistakes would not outlive me Everyone could just forgive me All the ones I've made 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 And they'd help me not to think About how we used to be If it was up to me 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 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 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
