If I had a hammer, I’d build you a house
I’d build you a house babe and you could be my spouse
If I had a dollar, I’d buy us a car
And drive way out west to see the desert stars
And we’d live on the land, lord lord
And we’d make a stand and say that
We are here
If I had a family, I’d work all the day
Bring home the bacon and give you my pay
If I had a son, I would teach him my ways
But only the good ones, if I had a son
And we’d live on the dream, lord lord
That a man can be free to say that
I am here
If I had a forest in a rocky ravine
Don’t cut down my trees man, just let them be
If I had a daughter, she’d play in those trees
Just like her mother, happy & free
And we’d live on the land, lord lord
And we’d make our stand and say
We were here
