If it Were Up to Me

(*Jason Boland)

There's no two ways about it*

I'm a stubborn son of a gun

I know sometimes you doubt it

Till I give you some

Then that deer in the headlight look gives you away

Now what kind of games you playing

I'm not familiar with that one

I try to troubleshoot what you're saying

Are you having fun?

On second thought I'll be moving along for sure

As you were

If it were up to me

I know what I'd do

If it were up to me

I'd leave it up to you

Then I'd make my way back home

Look in to gettin stoned

If it were up to me

Now my mind starts to aching

And you never heard a joke

But sometimes I feel forsaken

Just another who spoke

Going round and round

Man this should be a crime

Good times

If it were up to me

I know what I'd do

If it were up to me

I'd leave it up to you

Then I'd make my way back home

Look in to gettin stoned

If it were up to me

If it were up to me

I'd go out on a limb

If it were up to me

I'll bet it's alright with him

Cause I'd sail out across the board

Give 10 percent to the lord

If it were up to me

If it were up to me

I know what I'd do

If it were up to me

I'd leave it up to you

Then I'd make my way back home

Look in to gettin stoned

Take a shotgun to the phone

If it were up to me
