What If It Worked Like That
[Verse 1]
What if we were old when we got here?
Got a little younger every year
And we all laughed in the face of fear
Like it was nothing

[Verse 2]
What if we could all come in first place?
Take our time without being late
And drink a few beers just to get in shape
Yeah, wouldn't be something?

[Chorus]
What if it worked like that?
What if this big old world didn't turn so fast?
We took a little less and gave a little more back
Yeah, what if it worked like that?

[Verse 3]
What if we had to many friends?
Had more money than we could stand
And all the good times wouldn't end
They'd just keep on comin'

[Verse 4]
What if we could hug the ones we missed?
Clocking in meant catching fish
And all the pride and prejudice
Had to give into lovin'?
[Chorus]
What if it worked like that?
What if this big old world didn't turn so fast?
We took a little less and gave a little more back
Yeah, what if it worked like that?

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
What if it worked like that?
What if this big old world didn't turn so fast?
We took a little less and gave a little more back
Yeah, what if it worked like that?
