verse 1 If I were you I would gladly loan to me a dollar or two So I could eat and maybe get just one good night of sleep But I'm not And I'm stranded like a castaway in this town And you seem so unwilling to help a fellow when he's down If I were you That's what I'd do EVERYONE FROM HERE: verse 2 If I were you I wouldn't be out on the streets the whole night through I'd have a job, and a pretty wife that I could come home to But I don't And I have twenty cents left to my name And your the only one left here, that I have to blame If I were you That's what I'd do Bridge You see It´s not my way to take from you, the things I haven't earned I wish I could go back and heed, the lessons I have learned verse 3 But I can´t So you'll gladly put your money in this sack And yes sir, this things is loaded and I have the hammer back If I were you That´s what I'd do If I were you That´s what I'd do The End
