[Lyric] If I Had My Way (Ben Haggard (SC))

If I had my way
Wouldn't tear no building down
Just sit and watch the trains roll by
Wondering where they're bound
Times like these they can test a man
Make him swim or drown
I'm just treading water
And listening for the sound

So sing me a song about outlaws
And the way life used to be
This old world keeps rollin on
But it ain't gonna bother me
Find a cool green pasture
In the sandy hills I've known
Lay down by the railroad track
Let the whistle take me home

Grab me a guitar
And an empty bottle of wine
Break off that old bottleneck
And I sure can make it whine
Play you a song about my life
Or just one on wasting time
Things ain't what they once was
But the sun sure still does shine
