If I had my druthers I¡¯d go fishin¡¯
Find myself a lake and a lazy day
If I had my druthers I¡¯d quit wishin¡¯
Get off the old caboose get on my way

Give me, whole lots of laughter
Great big barrels of fun
Nighttime full of romance
Daytime full of fun

If I had my druthers I¡¯d go flyin¡¯ -ooh
Lookin¡¯ for the things I¡¯d like to see - yeh
If I had my druthers I¡¯d be tryin¡¯ tryin¡¯
The only way to be what I can¡¯t be

Give me somebody to love me
Make me feel like the only one
Something that¡¯s worth doing more
I feel good when it¡¯s worked yeh yeh

If I had my druthers I¡¯d go sailing - yes I would
Catch me campin¡¯ ou on the open sea
If I had my druthers I¡¯d be singin¡¯
Just how good this good life feels to me - feels so good

It just needs someone to talk to
Something you can¡¯t share
You don¡¯t need no reason for livin¡¯ long
It¡¯s already there - yes it is - ooh ooh

It makes me giggle
I can¡¯t sit down
