lyrics
Well if I had my way, I'd stay drunk all day
Wouldn't have to work and have the bills to pay
I'd spend my money on women and wine
Spend my time getting high, getting by
If I had my way, had my way, had my way
Had my way, I'd stay drunk all day.
Sometimes I feel like shit
Sometimes I look like it
Well, give me a bottle o' wine
Give me a bottle o' beer
Have to give me a hand, have to give me a chair
Well if I had my way, I'd stay drunk all day
Wouldn't have to work and have the bills to pay
I'd spend my money on women and wine
Spend my time getting high, getting by
If I had my way, had my way, had my way
Had my way, I'd stay drunk all day.
I've got to get up and go to work
Hate bad luck, hate my job and my boss is a fuckin' jerk.
Spending all my time doing somethin' I don't like
To work all day and sleep all night
I wasn't born to punch no clock
And I sure as hell wasn't born to work no job
If I had my way I'd stay drunk all day,
Wouldn't have to work and have the bills to pay
I'd spend my money on women and wine,
Spend my time getting high, getting by
If I had my way, had my way, had my way
Had my way, I'd stay drunk all day.
I'm dreaming of that big green leaf. (Mmm... )
Pot and booze is my belief (Model C.)
I do what I like, and I sure as hell like what I do (I don't like that.)
Well, if you don't like it, fuck you. (Oh!)
If I had my way I'd stay drunk all day
Wouldn't have to work and have the bills to pay
I'd spend my money on women and wine
Spend my time getting high, getting by
If I had my way, had my way, had my way
Had my way, I'd stay drunk all day.
Wouldn't have to work and have the bills to pay
I'd spend my money on women and wine
Spend my time getting high, getting by
If I had my way, had my way, had my way
Had my way, I'd stay drunk all day.
Sometimes I feel like shit
Sometimes I look like it
Well, give me a bottle o' wine
Give me a bottle o' beer
Have to give me a hand, have to give me a chair
Well if I had my way, I'd stay drunk all day
Wouldn't have to work and have the bills to pay
I'd spend my money on women and wine
Spend my time getting high, getting by
If I had my way, had my way, had my way
Had my way, I'd stay drunk all day.
I've got to get up and go to work
Hate bad luck, hate my job and my boss is a fuckin' jerk.
Spending all my time doing somethin' I don't like
To work all day and sleep all night
I wasn't born to punch no clock
And I sure as hell wasn't born to work no job
If I had my way I'd stay drunk all day,
Wouldn't have to work and have the bills to pay
I'd spend my money on women and wine,
Spend my time getting high, getting by
If I had my way, had my way, had my way
Had my way, I'd stay drunk all day.
I'm dreaming of that big green leaf. (Mmm... )
Pot and booze is my belief (Model C.)
I do what I like, and I sure as hell like what I do (I don't like that.)
Well, if you don't like it, fuck you. (Oh!)
If I had my way I'd stay drunk all day
Wouldn't have to work and have the bills to pay
I'd spend my money on women and wine
Spend my time getting high, getting by
If I had my way, had my way, had my way
Had my way, I'd stay drunk all day.

Geoff Berner Vancouver, British Columbia
Singer / songwriter / accordionist / novelist Geoff Berner's music combines klezmer, punk, political satire and Balkan dance rhythms. He writes sharp, literate songs that make you want to weep, laugh, grind your teeth, or kick out a window - often all at the same time. Having built a cult following with his weirdly compelling stage presence, G.B. has a strange ability to create fun chaos. ... more

I heard this track on a movie the other night - can't recall the movie, but it made me slow the credits down at the end so I could find out who sang this song, then come to the computer, listen to it on youtube to be sure it was the right track, then log onto Bandcamp and buy the whole damn album. There's not much in this world that gets me to bother with all that palava at 11 o'clock at night.
