In A Heartbeat, If I Could Just...

Someday I’m going to really live like that music sometimes makes me feel

After a couple years I won’t have to listen to their whiny bullshit anymore

Pretty soon I won’t have to see any of these clowns here again

Just a little while and I’ll be out of here for good

Before you know it, I’ll have all the time in the world

In a heartbeat I would blow this pop stand off, for once and for all

Someday I’ll stay at that place I still remember from in my rear-view mirror

After a couple years every day will be just like Saturday for you and me

Pretty soon I’m gonna drive off in a big old brand new pickup truck

Just a little while and we’ll be doing all the stuff like they do in the movies

Before you know it we’ll beat these old timesheets into funny postcards

In a heartbeat I could pack it in for them parts still unknown

Someday I will take the time to stay a few more days

After a couple years we’ll be off somewhere chasing red Indian sunsets

Pretty soon we can sell this tired old house and retire in real style

Just a little while and we’ll make it to the top of the hill

Before you know it we’ll spend the entire autumn simply watching changing leaves

In a heartbeat, if I could just pay off a few more of these crazy healthcare debts

Someday we won’t just be acting, like we do now, every weekend

After a couple years they’ll see that I really wasn’t just like them

Pretty soon I won’t be all pissed off just because it’s Monday

Just a little while longer and I’m going to walk away from it all

Before you know it we’ll be relaxing together on some white and sandy beach

In a heartbeat I would tell them all to take a hike and ride on out

Someday I’ll have the time to read that stuff I keep on blowing off

After a couple years we won’t even bother to watch TV every single night

Pretty soon we’ll be staying home to avoid the weekend crowds

Just a little while and, Hey listen, I swear, we won’t be too old to enjoy it

Before you know it my dumbass boss will be a just a funny memory

In a heartbeat if only the cars and house didn’t cost so much, each & every month

Someday we’ll sip margaritas every afternoon in the shade of a nice palapa

After a couple years we’ll go on that trek up and through the Nepal Himalaya

Pretty soon the kids will be gone and we can start to travel

Just a little while and I’ll retire and write down the wisdom I distilled from all this bullshit

Before you know it we’ll spend nights in the smoke of the magic campfire

In a heartbeat I could give it up and sell hot dogs at the beach

Someday we’ll blow off health insurance even though we’re a little fat

After a couple years, if things get better, we should be able to retire

Pretty soon your flawed project’s artificial deadline won’t mean Jack to me

Just a little while and me and the Marlboro Man will be out riding on the range

Before you know it I’ll be on to more important things than this

In a heartbeat if I could just hit it right on a couple of quick day trades

Someday soon I’ll chuck all this shit and go off to work for myself

After a couple years it looks like the end should be coming into sight

Pretty soon I won’t find that I’m mad about something stupid all the time

Just a little while longer and there won’t be any more of that boring housework

Before you know it we’ll just be in them commuter’s way as we take off on our next vacation

In a heartbeat I’d walk away from all my MP3s and the big-screen TV

Someday soon I’ll get a break and we’ll roll in style on out to Vegas

After only a couple years I should begin to see a little daylight

Pretty soon all my money won’t be going up in smoke and interest charges

Just a little while and my fat pension might actually kick in

Before you know it we’ll quit working and stop getting any older

In a heartbeat I’d blow off this mess and go away to live like Jesus

Someday we won’t just have to worry about money all the time

After only a couple more years our time is going to come at last

Pretty soon I won’t have to listen all day long to morons on the phone

Just a little while til we ride away in our brand new RV for good

Before you know it we’ll hear the ocean from our hammocks every night

In a heartbeat if we could just find a way to get past this and that

Someday I won’t just be trying to get through another week once again

After a couple years I’m thinking we won’t spend so much time at the malls

Pretty soon now we won’t be so damn tired we cannot see by Wednesday night

Just a little while before we can start to live for whatever things might still really matter

Before you know it, we can start to spend all this time that we’ve been saving every day

In a heartbeat I’d tear up my damn credit cards and burn down the house

Someday we’ll have lots of money and we won’t have to work anymore

After a couple more years we’ll have a little time just to set and think things over

Pretty soon we’ll pack up our reading glasses, prescription drugs and go

Just a little while and we will stand aside and laugh at all the rodents

Before you know it, why, we’ll have time to just wait until the light is right for the picture

In a heartbeat but I got this deadline and we just re-financed the house for Jason’s college
