If I Were You

If I were you I'd buy a horse the colour of the reign
If I were you I'd find a boat and sail it far away
If I were you I'd build a house on the shores of the lake
I would spend my winters there, alone and warm and safe

[Chorus]
If I were you, I'd be patient and I'd be wise
Know why the winds change and how too soothe a child
If I were you I'd be open and I'd be strong
Know where the birds nest and when the storms would come

If I were you I'd find a wife so honest and so sweet
I would keep nothing from her and she would trust in me
if I were you I'd raise a child with eyes as true as snow
I'd live inside the ?fear-each-day? knowing she would go

Ahhhh Ooooooo

[Chorus]
If I were you, I'd be patient and I'd be wise
Know why the winds change and how too soothe a child
If I were you I'd be open and I'd be strong
Know where the birds nest and when the storms would come

OOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWOoooooooooooooooooo
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWOOOOOWOOOOooooooooo
If I were youuuuuuuUUUUUUUOOOOOOO
If I were youuuuuuuUUUUUUUOOOOOOO
If I were youuuuuuuUUUUUUUOOOOOOO-OOOOOoooo
If I were youuuuuuuUUUUUUUOOOOOOO
