If I could make my living going fishing   Then I would make my living with a line and pole   Put food on the table pay the money to the landlord   Buy some working clothes   Cause I ain't making money going fishing like I'm paid at the factory   If I could pay all these bills with my guitar   Then I would pay these bills with some rock and roll   Put food on the table pay the money to the landlord   Buy some working clothes   Cause I ain't making money playing guitar like I'm paid at the factory      Chorus:   Now if I could (if I could)   Then I would (then I would)   Make money doing something that I love   I'd thank my lucky stars above   If I could just get by loving you dear   Then I would just get by making love to you   Put food on the table pay the money to the landlord   Buy some working clothes   Cause I ain't making money making love   Like I'm paid at the factory      Repeat chorus:      If I could make my living going fishing   Then I would make my living with a line and pole   Put food on the table pay the money to the landlord   Buy some working clothes   Cause I ain't making money going fishing   Like I'm paid at the factory      Repeat chorus:      If I could just get by loving you dear   Then I would just get by making love to you   Put food on the table pay the money to the landlord   Buy some working clothes   Cause I ain't making money making love   Like I'm paid at the factory   Put food on the table pay the money to the landlord   Buy some working clothes   Cause I ain't making money making love   Like I'm paid at the factory   Put food on the table pay the money to the landlord   Buy some working clothes   Cause I ain't making money making love   Like I'm paid at the factory
