If I Had A Lover

Well, if I had a lover, couldn't keep it undercover and fall for her like leaves
And if I had a dollar, I'd save the whole holler and buy that girl a ring
Well, ever since I don't have any, I'm about as lonely as can be
But if I had a lover and I had a dollar, what a happy ol' boy I'll be

Well, that's all I want, but I know it's not meant to be
But I'm jealous how the wind is free
'Cause I'm all locked up in my own misery
With nobody to blame but me

Well, if I had a lover, couldn't keep it undercover and fall for her like leaves
And if I had a dollar, I'd save the whole holler and buy that girl a ring
Well, ever since I don't have any, I'm about as lonely as can be
But if I had a lover and I had a dollar, what a happy ol' boy I'll be

Well, then there's that girl, but she pays no mind to me
Yeah, somethin' like the rocks beneath my feet
And I hear them say, I'm missin' the forest for the tree
But I don't care when she's the prettiest tree I've seen

Well, if I had a lover, couldn't keep it undercover and fall for her like leaves
And if I had a dollar, I'd save the whole holler and buy that girl a ring
Well, ever since I don't have any, I'm about as lonely as can be
But if I had a lover and I had a dollar, what a happy ol' boy I'll be

Well, if I had a lover, couldn't keep it undercover and fall for her like leaves
And if I had a dollar, I'd save the whole holler and buy that girl a ring
Well, ever since I don't have any, I'm about as lonely as can be
But if I had a lover and I had a dollar, what a happy ol' boy I'll be
