Steve Goodman - Video Tape lyrics

If your life was on video tape Wouldn't everything be all right When your head hurts the morning after Then you could roll it back to late last night You could replay all the good parts And cut out what you don't like Oh wouldn't you be in good shape If your life was on video tape If everybody had ESP Everything would be OK We could see trouble coming And we could step out of the way When that grim reaper comes to call Then we could arrange to be out of town It would be the great escape And you could put it on video tape I don't have a video recorder I don't have a crystal ball And when I'm not with my baby Oh, then I don't have very much at all I can't predict the future And baby I sure can't change the past But I know it will all make sense If you love me in the present tense If your life was on video tape Wouldn't everything be all right When your head hurts the morning after You could always roll it back to late last night You could replay all the good parts And cut out what you don't like Oh wouldn't you be in good shape If your life was on video tape Oh wouldn't you be in good shape If your life was on video tape
