If I Could Buy Me Some Time

(Album: They Call Me Cadillac - 2010)

I'd probably go fishing 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 catching 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 wrangling 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 watching the world float by
Yeah, I'd get real high if I could buy me some time

But lately the world's spinning way too fast
The bad's catching on and the good times don't last
Somehow it seems like we've all left living behind
Oh, but I'd never die if I could buy me some time

And I'd spend forever being 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 spinning way too fast
The bad's catching on and the good times don't last
Somehow it seems like we've all left living 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
