If I could write
A song like John Prine
I'd be on my way

If I could love
Like a mother loves her child
I'd be on my way

If I was high
Like the kite
In the summer sky
I'd be on my way

But I'm mono toned and old
I'm singing about the lonely road
I'm trying to bring back yesterday

If I could sing
Like the bluebird on a wire
Well I'd be on my way

If I could cry
That farewell goodbye
Well I'd be on my way

But I'm mono toned and old
I'm singing about the lonely road
I'm trying to bring back yesterday

(Sing with me now)
If I could, if I only could
If I only could

If I could, if I only could
If I only could
