If it was up to me
Every road would be paved in dirt
Whiskey wouldn't give you hangovers
Every prayer would hit right on time
Every good dog would live to see 25
And this bar would stay open all night
And I wouldn't have to drink it dry
Just to drown out your goodbye
If it was up to me
You'd be here wrapped up in my arms
And I'd be about anywhere but this bar
You'd be hitting them brakes on that Chevrolet
Red line running back to my place
You'd be back burning up my bed
Instead of turning them circles in my head
Wouldn't be just a goodbye memory
Oh if it was up to me
This ole heart wouldn't wanna break
Every time I hear your name
I'd turn back time
And baby you'd still be mine
If it was up to me
You'd be here wrapped up in my arms
And I'd be about anywhere but this bar
You'd be hitting them brakes on that Chevrolet
Red line running back to my place
You'd be back burning up my bed
Instead of turning them circles in my head
Wouldn't be just a goodbye memory
Oh if it was up to me
You'd get a flat, run out of gas
Call me to pick you up get a second chance
This would all be a bad bad dream
Oh if it was up to me
Oh yeah
If it was up to me
Oh if it was up to me
You'd be here wrapped up in my arms
And I'd be about anywhere but this bar
You'd be hitting them brakes on that Chevrolet
Red line running back to my place
You'd be back burning up my bed
Instead of turning them circles in my head
Wouldn't be just a goodbye memory
Oh if it was up to me
Mm yeah
If it was up me, you wouldn't be just a memory
Oh if it was up to me
