Travis Tritt lyrics - If I Were a Drinker

album: Country Club [Warner Bros] (1990)
genre: 

You only wanted what money could buy,
Any trinket that sparkled would catch your green eyes 
I should have known better,
But I loved you too much,
And when you spent all my savings,
Love was not enough.

If I were a drinker,
I'd be drunk tonight, 
And if I were a gambler,
Lord, I'd bet my last dime, 
You're out with another,
And you won't be home,
But if I were a rich man 
You would'nt be gone.

--- Instrumental ---

We used to go dancin' on Saturday night 
You shined like a diamond 
Underneath those blue lights 
You were a fools gold 
Oh, but I would soon learn
I'd never make you happy 
With the money I earned.

If I were a drinker,
I'd be drunk tonight,
And if'n I was a gambler,
Lord  I'd bet my last dime 
You're out with another, 
And you won't be home,
But if I were a rich man 
You would'nt be gone

But if I were a rich man 
You would'nt be gone...
