If I Were a Drinker

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. 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...
