If I Had A Chance If I had a chance, babe To go back in time, maybe I'd try a time or two This life took you in, babe The same life that reminds me I could never love me like you do The road is so hard, dear I bet there's some hometown bar viewing could be But I just had a dream, dear It's you in the late fall All warm, swarmed by the midday light We're laying on the roof of my car Feeling you, I'm feeling, I'm feeling starved Of all the things that I'm only carrying This one's the best kept memory The purest parts of my heart are you and me I love when you grin, Rose The corners of your lips lifting, lift me when I'm low I read in the good book The best things in life are free and need to be let go So take one last good look Let's share one last cigarette I'll be home by the time you're rationing Stop asking things you know the answers to There ain't no world in which I am good for you And we're laying on the roof of my car Feeling you, I'm feeling, I'm feeling starved Of all the things that I'm only carrying This one's the best kept memory How the kindest parts of my mind are you and me How the kindest parts of my mind are you and me
