If I were you
Then I would gladly loan to me a dollar or two
So I could eat
Yeah 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
If I were you
I wouldn't be out on these streets the whole night through
Yeah 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 you're the only one left here that I have to blame
If I were you
That's what I'd do
Sir 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
But I can't
So you'll gladly put your money in this sack
Yes sir this thing 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
