Gordon Lightfoot: Wild strawberries

If I had a dollar, if I had a centI would play most anywhere if it would pay my rentI'd be livin' on the downside in my old apartmentFor the rest of my daysPeople always ask why the world is on the runPeople like you and like meIs it really true you can really never winMovin' to the upside, tell me when does the fun beginDeep as the see and as wild as the weatherWe will go just you and me to pick wild strawberries togetherOr be livin' on our own, in a cabin in a meadowOr meanderin' alone, we can face the world forever or we'llHit the bounding main or be on a railroad trainHit the boundless tide or be on a steamboat rideHit the bounding main or be on a midnight planeHit the pounding tide or be on a rainbow ridePeople often ask me just the way it must feelTo be standing up here with you down thereLet it now be known that throughout all of these yearsI have been wearing polka dot underwearDeep as the sea and as wild as the weatherWe will go just you and me to gather crabapples togetherAnd be wandering along toward a cabin in the meadowOr meandering alone, we can face the world together or we'llHit the bounding main or be on a railroad trainHit the boundless tide or be on a steamboat rideHit the bounding main or be on a midnight planeHit the pounding tide or be on a rainbow ridePeople always ask why the world is on the slidePeople like you and like meIs it really true there will be no peace left to hideTurning to the upside, when does the fun beginDeep as the sea and as wild as the weatherWe might go just you and me to pick wild strawberries togetherOr be livin' on our own in a cabin in a meadowAnd the cows will come homeThey can face the world forever and we'llHit the bounding main or be on a railroad trainHit the boundless tide or be on a steamboat rideHit the bounding main or be on a midnight planeHit the pounding tide or be on a rainbow rideHit the bounding main or be on a midnight plane...
