If I Could
Pursuing Passion: Making a Living Doing What You Love
Lyrics
If I could make my living going fishing
If the speaker could earn a living by fishing
Then I would make my living with a line and pole
The speaker would choose a livelihood involving a fishing line and pole
Put food on the table pay the money to the landlord, buy some working clothes
To cover living expenses, pay rent, and purchase necessities like clothes
Making money going fishing like I'm paid at the factory
Earning a living from fishing, akin to being paid in a factory job
If I could pay all these bills with my guitar
If the speaker could pay bills with their guitar
Then I would pay these bills with some rock and roll
They would prefer to pay bills through playing rock and roll music
Put food on the table pay the money to the landlord, buy some working clothes
Meeting financial obligations, paying rent, and buying clothes
Making money playing guitar like I'm paid at the factory
Earning a living by playing the guitar, akin to a factory job
Now if I could (if I could)
Expressing a desire to make a living doing something enjoyable
Then I would (then I would)
Expressing determination to pursue the desired livelihood
Make money doing something that I love
Desiring to make money from a passion
I'd thank my lucky stars above
Expressing gratitude for the opportunity to pursue a beloved activity
If I could just get by loving you dear
If the speaker could manage by loving someone
Then I would just get by making love to you
Getting by through expressing love to someone
Put food on the table, pay the money to the landlord, buy some working clothes
Meeting financial needs while being in a loving relationship
Making money making love like I'm paid at the factory
Earning a living by making love, akin to a factory job
Now if I could (if I could)
Expressing a desire to make a living doing what is loved
Then I would (then I would)
Expressing determination to pursue the desired livelihood
Make money doing something that I love
Desiring to make money from a passion
I'd thank my lucky stars above
Expressing gratitude for the opportunity to pursue a beloved activity
If I could just get by loving you dear
If the speaker could manage by loving someone
Then I would just get by making love to you
Getting by through expressing love to someone
Put food on the table, pay the money to the landlord, buy some working clothes
Meeting financial needs while being in a loving relationship
Making money making love like I'm paid at the factory
Earning a living by making love, akin to a factory job
Put food on the table pay the money to the landlord, buy some working clothes
Ensuring financial stability through fishing, similar to a factory job
Making money going fishing like I'm paid at the factory.
Continuing the theme of making a living through fishing
