all would be right with the world

what if my old golden retriever lived to be a hundred?

and my old bronco was still running like 1969

what if we all sat fireside

went on more boat rides

wished on a few more stars at night

now wouldn't that be fine?

what if beer and fried chicken didn't make us fat and sicken?

and the braves

well they never lost a game?

if every sunset job well done ended with a 12-ounce curl

all would be right with the world

if mosquitoes never bit

but the fish they always did

and every time i dropped the line

that bobber'd disappear?

and if people learned life lessons through andy griffith re-runs

and we only used real guns to hunt doves

duck and deer

what if cigarettes and whisky they didn't try to kill me

and outback i had money growin' on a tree

if every morning i woke up

right beside you girl

all would be right with the world

(all would be right

all would be right

all would be right with the world)

if everybody waved their white flag

and every soldier came back

we didn't have to pray for peace on earth

and if i could buy a ticket to see hank

george and merle

all would be right with the world

if every morning i woke up

right beside you girl

all would be right with the world

if every sunset job well done ended with a 12-ounce curl

all would be right with the world
