Church choir was the only high
Monday morning was the only low
Momma's way was the only right
Straight and narrow was the only road
The front porch was only built for
Sipping ice tea
The wild grass growing out in the back
Was the only weed

If only life would stay like that
If only this old world wouldn't spin so fast
If we more thankful, more grateful
Loved everyone with all we have
If we remember all the good and forget the bad
If only it was as easy as that

Main street was the only way in
Dreamin' big was the only way out
A simple prayer was the only way up
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound

If only life would stay like that
If only this old world wouldn't spin so fast
If we more thankful, morе grateful
Loved evеryone with all we have
If we remember all the good and forget the bad
If only it was as easy as that
Hard work was the only way to work
And true love was the only way to love

If only life would stay like that
If only this old world wouldn't spin so fast
If we more thankful, more grateful
Loved everyone with all we have
If we remember all the good and forget the bad
If only it was as easy as that

Oh, if only
Oh, if only
If only
