Only If

Only if I could sing like Morgan Wallen
Make them feel every word, keeps the girls callin
Put my heart in every song, never tone 'em down
Got that look made for legends and a voice that shakes the town
Only if
Only if I had the cool of Jason Aldean
Black jeans, boots, and a rebel lean
Never chase trends, just built his own lane
Now every stage chants his name
Only if I had their fame and lights
Sellin' out stadiums on a Saturday night
But I'm just boots on a back porch rail
Cold one raised to a hometown tale
I ain't got hits, but these words ring loud
Only if
Only if I had that smile of Luke Bryan
Laid-back charm and a heart still shinin
Still with his sweetheart, his lifelong lover
Country cool, coaches stars like no other
Only if I had the soul of Dierks Bentley
Two girls, one boy, and a heartbeatin steady
Started with what was I thinkin
Made the world take note
Now he flies above it all
Keepin' us grounded in hope
Only if
Only if I had their fame and lights
Sellin' out stadiums on a Saturday night
But I'm just boots on a back porch rail
Cold one raised to a hometown tale
I ain't got hits, but these words ring loud
Only if
Only if I had the fire of Toby Keith
Baritone proud with a flag underneath
Wrote for the soldiers, sang for the free
Stood his ground with American dignity
Only if I had the heart of Jelly Roll
Told my story raw, made the broken feel whole
From cell blocks to stages he proved you can change
Turned pain into purpose and loss into flames
Only if I had their fame and lights
Wallen, Aldean
Bryan, Bentley
Jelly and Keith
Greats I follow, roots underneath
Only if
Only if I could do what those legends do
But the songs I write are honest and true
I just can't be what the greats have been
But I still write with the same old pen
Maybe one day they'll hear my lines
Tip their hats and give me some time
Back porch laughs and a long neck toast
Tradin' lines with the ones I admire most
Only if, only if, only if, only if
