Lyrics"If I Had Time"
Music & Lyrics by Scott Cooley.
We could go to get a bar of chocolate, or maybe an ice cream cone I could pour you a snort of whiskey, and see if you could hold your own But the problem with makin’ promises is that they’re always set in stone If I had time, I could help you, but I don’t I know you could use my assistance, with all those projects that you’ve got at home And I could use some of your time too, if the truth be known I could help you with your homework, but I gotta tell you that you’re on your own If I had time, I could help you, but I don’t If I had time we could tackle it together, and we’d get it done in no time at all Then you’d have more time with your girlfriend, or more time for playin’ baseball I could make you a wager on the football game, but I’d need you to spot me a loan Until you find the time to squeeze me in, I guess I’ll have to settle for the phone I’m old and I could use the company, but I’m no stranger to bein’ alone If I had time, I could help you, but I don’t Now I might be from Missouri, but I don’t need to be shown I’m just the right guy to get you what you need, if I was able, you know that I’d go But I’ve got plans you see, and they’ll keep me busy, I’d like to help you more than you know If I had time, I could help you, but I don’t You’re gonna have troubles along the way, and you’ve got such a long way to go You’ll just have to hope for good luck, and try to snap that dry wishbone I s’pose that I could find a way, to get you through your pain, but I won’t If I had time, I could help you, but I don’t If I had time I’d tell you I’m only joking, but we both know that’s just the way that it is One of us is on their way out, and the other barely on their way in As the years go by, don’t feel bad, about the time you never had so long ago I understand, you were just a young man, and at least I had the chance to watch you grow Every time we get together, we always laugh, and I wish I could be around when you’re old If I had time, I could help you, but I don’t If I had time, I could help you, but I don’t Copyright © ℗ 2012 by Scott Cooley.
