Now I'm not talking tough telling the truth ought to be enough
I've had my share on the darker side
Sitting and starring at a
TV screen racking my brain over all the things
If I'd just been there
I could have tried
Things to do
I can't help but think of more
I could fill my life wothout ever leaving home
I could see the
Seven Ancient
Wonders of the
WorldAnd even build a few more of my own
If I had a mind to
Quit my job never mind the pay maybe go figure out the
CIAChase the paper and pass the bar show
Iacocca how to build a car
Jump up and run a three minute mile sit around and watch my baby smile
That's what
I might do if
I had a mind to
No I don't wanna blow my horn no telling how many souls
I've wornAnd what kind of shoes when
I had shoes
I'm still losing a bridge or two but the troubled water's gonna run onthrough
You can't always win but you can always lose
But I don't turn my head for things that pass me by
And I'm gonna have a look around
I could gather all the diamonds in the sky
Hold every one and never leave the ground
If I had a mind to
Fly through the eye of a hurricane freeze my body like
David Blaine
Be the first to find life on
Mars go up and sell a few candy bars
Climb a rainbow and kiss the sun walk on the moon when the day is done
That's what
I might do
If I had a mind to
Somewhere someone's doing everything
I've saidI don't have to do anything
I could do it in my head
If I had mind to
Sail away and be
Jacques Cousteau or the
Crocodile hunter on a
TV showBe the king of the one night stand front the
Coral Reefer
BandSki Colorado where there ain't no snow plant a tree and watch it grow
That what
I might do
Go out and buy me a suit and tie go to work everyday and be a regular guy
Smoking big cigars all day be the
President of the
USAGet a tattoo and bleach my hair open a window and breathe the air
That's what
I might do if
I had a mind to
