if i were you

Lyrics

if i were you, i would gladly loan to me, a dollar or two, so i could eat yeah and maybe, get just one good night of sleep, but i'm not, and i'm stranded like a cast away in this town, and you seem so unwilling to help a fellow, when hes down, if i were you, that's what i would do, if i were you, i wouldn't be out on these streets, the whole night through, yeah i'd have a job, and a pretty wife that, i could come home to, but i don't, and i have twenty cents left to my name, and your the only one left here, that i have to blame, if i were you, that's what i'd do, but sir it's not my way, to take from you, the things i haven't earned, wish i could go back and heed, the lessons i have learned, but i can't, so you gladly put your money, in this sack, yes sir this thing is loaded, and i have to hammer back, if i were you, that's what i'd do, if i were you, that's what i'd do
