If I Had the Money

If I Had the Money - Lucy Spraggan

If I had the money I would buy us a house

It wouldn't be a lot but It would be ours

I'd buy myself a brand new car

And it'd be much safer than my last one was

And I'd take you anywhere no matter how far

If I had the money I would buy us a shop

We'd sell the weird and wonderful

You'd pick the stock

I'd just work the front of house

And we'd build our business up from the ground

And we'd be happy whether it worked out or not

And maybe in the future but for today

I'm working just to get paid

If I had the time we would travel the world

We'd see things we'd only dreamt

Of and we could frame 'em as well

Share memories on the mantel piece

Of when we watched the sun rise on a beautiful beach

And we'd have a million stories to tell as well

If I had the time I would buy us a dog

And where ever we'd go you know

He'd be tagging along

He'd be there when we got home

And we'd forget our feelings of being alone

And he'd be there no matter what we did wrong

And maybe in the future but for today

I'm working just to get paid

And maybe in the future but so far

I'm still paying for this guitar
