Lyrics
If Only
I’m thinkin’ if I only had a dog... I’d throw a ball the best that I know how... Or maybe, instead I’d throw a stick... I’m sure, old Fido’d bring it to me quick. We’d run around the park until it got so dark... Then go on home to eat some sup... what’s up? Yeah, if I only had a dog... Be as happy as a turtle on a log.
If I only knew how to fly... I could find out what’s up there in the sky. I’d discover many things from way up there... Many things I know that I could share. If Fido could fly, too... we’d be quite a crew... Superheroes from up above, such love. Yeah, if I only knew how to fly... Maybe then I wouldn’t be so shy.

It's impossible to listen to this without smiling. Great country song

Awe this is sweet. My kids would like this too (hopefully I remember to let them listen to it after I get home from work). I love that line “eat some sup, what’s up”. If you ever added percussion I could totally hear a big wobbly bass drum in there

This is fun. I love the “downhome” musical track and the casual, country storytelling vocals. Works for a listener of any age, in my opinion. Very sweet instrumental interlude and final few lines.
