lyrics

If I had a nickel for each day that I’d do over
If I had a dime for every time I dropped the ball
I’d just be a few bucks richer and another year older
So what the hell, it’s just as well that I have no change at all

If I had a quarter for each day that I grew older
I could have a pretty penny at the end of my days
But I suppose by then it won’t be worth half of nothing
So I’ll take my quarters and I’ll spend them along the way

Brother, there’s nothing wrong with me
A little sunlight wouldn’t fix
I’m wide open as a breezy summer day

If I had a dollar for each time I wished I had one
I would buy us a jumbo jet and we could fly away
Over the clouds and up around where the rain can’t reach us
One of these days…one of these days
