fountain of youth

If I were a little wiser 
Here’s what I’d do 
Well I’d go down South and drink from the fountain of youth 
We could live, we could live forever then 

And If I were a little kinder 
Here’s what I’d do 
Well I’d never say another cruel word to you 
You’d love me, you would love me again 

Sometimes I live in the country or the town 
Sometimes I wanna jump in the river and drown 
Lately I’ve been hangin’ ‘round 
With nothin’ in my head 
And it’s better off than dead 
Ain’t that just what Jesus said? 
Or something like, or something like that? 

If I were a little faster, 
Here’s what I’d do 
Well I’d jump on the highway 
Doin’ ninety-two 
And I’d see your pretty face again 

If I were a little smarter, 
Here’s what I’d do 
Well I’d go to a church and say a prayer for you 
We could be, we could be together then. 

Sometimes I live in the country or the town 
Sometimes I wanna jump in the river and drown 
Lately I’ve been hangin’ ‘round 
With nothin’ in my head 
And it’s better off than dead 
Ain’t that just what someone said? 
Or something like, or something like that?
