If Only

Church choir was the only high Monday morning was the only low Mama's way was the only right Straight and narrow was the only road The front porch was only built for sipping iced tea The wild grass growing out in the back was the only weed If only life would stay like that If only this old world wouldn't spin so fast If we were more thankful, more grateful Loved everyone with all we have If we remember all the good and forget the bad If only it was as easy as that Main street was the only way in Dreaming big was the only way out A simple prayer was the only way up Amazing grace, how sweet the sound If only life would stay like that If only this old world wouldn't spin so fast If we were more thankful, more grateful Loved everyone with all we have If we remember all the good and forget the bad If only it was as easy as that Hard work was the only way to work And true love was the only way to love If only life would stay like that If only this old world wouldn't spin so fast If we were more thankful, more grateful Loved everyone with all we have If we remember all the good and forget the bad If only it was as easy as that Oh, if only Oh, if only If only
