lyrics

If I Could
liz hargett & hank barbee 7.4.2010


If I could play the game of life
Like I could play a hand of cards
I’d hide the best ones
Cheat the bad ones…

If I was dealt the flush royale
I would take my winnings out
Run as far as
Stay as long as…

If I could I would
Go anywhere with you, my dear
If I could I would
Run away to somewhere new
Or the middle of nowhere
If I could I would
With you…


Oh, how I need a getaway
Where nobody knows my name
And they ask nothing
And I give nothing…out

Oh, how I want to cheat today
Stack an ace below an ace
Deal the bottom
Just to win one…time


If I could I would
Go anywhere with you, my dear
If I could I would
Run away to somewhere new
Or the middle of nowhere
If I could I would

these are the cards I have been dealt
so these are the cards that I will play
I only want to fill my days
with love and music…

I feel lost within the day
Will I ever find my way?
To the place where
I belong there… home

All the lies surround my head
And every tear that I have bled
Can you tame me?
Rearrange me?...please


If I could I would
Sing in cafés, and love my new shade
If I could I would
Get away to somewhere new
Like the middle of nowhere
If I could I would…
…Would you?

*thanks Lizzy 

about

Hank Barbee North Carolina

Guitar player, balladeer, and self-reflective life-mender all rolled up in a lanky package of boyish charm. ...an interesting evolution...combine dirty blues, roots-rock, thumb-style "Travis picking", surf, dixieland and western swing… throw in some heavy life experience and meaningful lyrical content… what’s for dinner is a rich stew of the last 100+ years of American musical heritage... ... more
