Jason Boland & the Stragglers - If it Were Up to Me Lyrics

There's no two ways about it
I'm a stubborn son of a gun
I know sometimes you doubt it
Till I give you some
Then that deer in the headlight look gives you away
Now what kind of games you playing
I'm not familiar with that one
I try to troubleshoot what you're saying
Are you having fun?
On second thought I'll be moving along for sure
As you were

If it were up to me
I know what I'd do
If it were up to me
I'd leave it up to you
Then I'd make my way back home
Look in to gettin stoned
If it were up to me

Now my mind starts to aching
And you never heard a joke
But sometimes I feel forsaken
Just another who spoke
Going round and round
Man this should be a crime
Good times

If it were up to me
I know what I'd do
If it were up to me
I'd leave it up to you
Then I'd make my way back home
Look in to gettin stoned
If it were up to me

If it were up to me
I'd go out on a limb
If it were up to me
I'll bet it's alright with him
Cause I'd sail out across the board
Give 10 percent to the lord
If it were up to me

If it were up to me
I know what I'd do
If it were up to me
I'd leave it up to you
Then I'd make my way back home
Look in to gettin stoned
Take a shotgun to the phone
If it were up to me
