Druthers

John Denver · Portrait [1999]

If I had my druthers I'd go fishing

Find myself a lake and a lazy day

If I had my druthers I'd quit wishing

Get off the old caboose get on my way

Give me whole lots of laughter, great big barrels of fun

A nighttime full of romance, a daytime full of sun

If I had my druthers I'd go flying

Looking for the things I'd like to see

If I had my druthers I'd be trying, trying

The only way to be what I can be

Give me somebody to love me, make me feel like the only one

And something that's worth doing, Lord, I feel good when it's well done

If I had my druthers I'd go sailing

Catch me camping out on the open sea

If I had my druthers I'd be singing

A just how good this good life feels to me

You just need someone to talk to, something you can share

You don't need no reason for living, Lord, it's already there, yes it is
