If I Could Buy Me Some Time - Randy Houser

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
