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
