If You Were a Sailboat lyrics

If you were a cowboy, I would trail you.

If you were a piece of wood, I’d nail you to the floor.

If you were a sailboat, I would sail you to the shore.

If you were a river, I would swim you.

If you were a house, I would live in you all my days.

If you were a preacher, I’d begin to change my ways.

Sometimes I believe in fate,

But the chances we create

Always seem to ring more true.

You took a chance on loving me;

I took a chance on loving you.

If I was in jail, I know you’d spring me.

If I was a telephone, you’d ring me all day long.

If I was in pain, I know you’d sing me soothing songs.

Sometimes I believe in fate,

But the chances we create,

Always seem to ring more true.

You took a chance on loving me;

I took a chance on loving you.

If I was hungry, you would feed me.

If I was in darkness, you would lead me to the light.

If I was a book, I know you’d read me every night.

If you were a cowboy, I would trail you.

If you were a piece of wood, I’d nail you to the floor.

If you were a sailboat, I would sail you to the shore.

If you were a sailboat, I would sail you to the shore.
