If I Were A Drinker Lyrics & Chords By Travis Tritt

You only wanted what money could buy,
Any trinket that sparkled would catch your green eyes
I should have known better,
But I loved you too much,
And when you spent all my savings,
Love was not enough.
If I were a drinker,
I'd be drunk tonight,
And if I were a gambler,
Lord, I'd bet my last dime,
You're out with another,
And you won't be home,
But if I were a rich man
You would'nt be gone.
--- Instrumental ---
We used to go dancin' on Saturday night
You shined like a diamond
Underneath those blue lights
You were a fools gold
Oh, but I would soon learn
I'd never make you happy
With the money I earned.
If I were a drinker,
I'd be drunk tonight,
And if'n I was a gambler,
Lord I'd bet my last dime
You're out with another,
And you won't be home,
But if I were a rich man
You would'nt be gone
But if I were a rich man
You would'nt be gone...
