If There Ain't There Ought'a Be

Well, I hear there's a place somewhere down south

Where you don't need a hook to catch a small mouth

No rod, no reel, no bait, no doubt

Just whistle from the bank and they all walk out



And they say there's a town not far from here

You can trade your debt for gas and beer

No boss, no rent, no sweat, no cares

Where everybody is a millionaire



If there ain't there ought'a be

Just think of the endless possibilities

A place where every day is Friday night

With your arms wrapped up tight around me

If there ain't there ought'a be



And I hear there's a book that you can buy

That'll paraphrase the meaning of life

What's love? Why me? Where's God? How high?

Word for word, why women cry



If there ain't there ought'a be

Just think of the endless possibilities

A place where every day is Friday night

With your arms wrapped up tight around me

If there ain't there ought'a be



A place for me to make my dreams come true

I wish, a wish upon a star will do

A fully fledged, foolproof guarantee

If there ain't there ought'a be



If there ain't there ought'a be

Just think of the endless possibilities

A place where every day is Friday night

With your arms wrapped up tight around me

Well, if there ain't there ought'a be

Well, if there ain't there ought'a be
