Chris Knight - If I Were You Lyrics
If I were you
I would gladly loan to me
A dollar or two
So I could eat yeah and maybe
Get just one good night of sleep
But I'm not
And I'm stranded like a cast away in this town
And you seem so unwilling to help a fellow
When hes down
If I were you
That's what I would do
If I were you
I wouldn't be out on these streets
The whole night through
And a pretty wife that
I could come home to
But I don't
And I have twenty cents left to my name
And your the only one left here
That I have to blame
If I were you
That's what I'd do
But sir it's not my way
To take from you
The things I haven't earned
Wish I could go back and heed
The lessons I have learned
But I can't
So you gladly put your money
In this sack
Yes sir this thing is loaded
And I have to hammer back
If I were you
That's what I'd do
If I were you
That's what I'd do

Chris Knight If I Were You Comments
Does anyone know how to play this song?
Fuck yea it's about time country music is coming back around
Not all so far from this scenario. God bless ya Chris and all on here. They’ll say I was desperate.....they’re probably right.
Just discovered Chris Knight, his songs can pull you into the story!!
story of my life
Been listening to this for years, love it
This is the first Chris Knight song I ever heard years ago. Still completely mesmerizing.
Haunting...
I've been there. Not a good place. But .. life happens. Thank the Lord I'm not there anymore
Life happens, that's god damn true
My friend, I've been writing heartfelt songs my whole life, and I'm a brutal critic, but you just BLEW ME AWAY! Dang, what a song!
PaulHighlandChannel dude. First 3/4 cd’s were like “Damn, from mining coal to a guitar in the trailer to writing some of the best, and IMO best country songs there are.” I’m also a singer songwriter and I’ve covered Elliott Smith, Isbell, Adam’s, but when I learned “It ain’t east being me” for a gig I was playing I was really like ok, dude really does knows his guitar and puts his soul out there. Some people just get great songwriting it took me till I was 30 but I’m finally picking up steam inches at a time and really liking what i put out.
This song can put you there even if you haven't been there. That's what makes it so incredibly poignant. And I am not even much of a country music fan, but I am a Chris Knight fan.
goddam boy thats purdy
countrier than country
Who the hell would ever give this a thumbs down?
unless you've been in this mindset you wouldn't understand.but I've been here and pray for those who still are.
so real
Simply genius
Why what
+Pat Rickard Why do you have facebook!!
Why does it matter
+Pat Rickard I want to know why people waste so much time on there.
Who knows
Salute!
Beautiful, beautiful. beautiful.....
Christ! I bloody love this one.
Such a poet.
yourwelcome
Heard this on 89.3 KNON In Dallas driving to work this morning. Damn. From one musician to another, this is a great song.....
Just saw Chris Friday night in Ft Worth. Met Chris once in Gruene, Tx at Gruene Hall. Lady asked him to sign something for her and make it real sweet. He commented; "Honey I'm all out of sweet."
Man, I saw this guy this past Saturday night at Smith's Olds Bar in Atlanta. And Yes, he's a damn good guy. I got thank my buddy Chris and his girlfriend Mary for asking us to go down there to listen to him. Now I've got 3 of his CD's and WILL be there to see him when he comes back to Atlanta.
just found couple week's ago this is great stuff he needs to be on the big stage im in a classic rock cover band and im leaning this way man this guy tell's it like it is i already feel like hanging with him sound's like i hear some john prine in him killer stuff chris rock on brother!
Id Pay 500.00 to met him!!!
yeh thank goodness noone dislikes this i mean come on its chris knight right such a good country song write
not one dislike thats ow good it is
my view, there's only two kinds of music, good and bad, and CK is excellent...
CK is grand. Heard him once on the Bob&Tom show. Went and bought his two CD's that night right after work. I refuse to call it straight country though.
Brad Jennings + 95.3 the Range... Which i cant seem to pick it up here in ft worth anymore. They call it Hard Country. Some call it Americana Music.
I just watched your posting of Rodney Atkins "The River Knows". I live right near the Ramapo river and I ain't never seen a trout that big before Great video. Good song too.
Your Welcome..
Love Chris Knight thanks to Freetickeys and cashfan for introducing me to him. And I really love this song. Thanks H D M !!
