If I Had My Way Lyrics - Downtown Church - Patty Griffin

If I had my way, 

If I had my way 

If I had my way I would tear this building down. 

tear this building down. 

 

You read about Sampson, from his birth 

strongest man that ever lived on earth. 

One day Sampson was walking alone 

looked down on the ground and saw an old jaw-bone. 

stretched out his hand, swung it over his head, 

when he start moving ten thousand was dead.

If I had my way, 

If I had my way 

If I had my way I would tear this building down, 

tear this building down 

 

Sampson and the lion they got in attack 

Sampson jumped on that lion's back 

You read about him - he killed a man with his paw 

Sampson got his hands around the lion's jaw 

broke that beast till the lion was dead 

Bees made honey in the lion's head. 

 

If I had my way, 

If I had my way 

If I had my way I would tear this building down, 

tear this building down 

 

Delilah was a woman, so fine and fair 

She had lovely good looks, and a-cold black hair 

Delilah gained on sampson's mind 

first saw the woman just to fill his time 

sit down on sampson's knees 

tell me where your strength lies, if you please 

She spoke so kind, talked so fair, 

Sampson told Delilah, cut off my hair, 

Shave my head, clean as your hand 

And my strength will be like a natural man 

caught ol' Sampson by surprise 

picked up a stick and poked him eye to eye 

dragged him down to the judgment hall 

chained him to the stone cold wall 

left him there til his head turned brown 

Sampson tore that building down 

 

If I had my way, 

If I had my way 

If I had my way I would tear this building down. 

tear this building down. 

tear this building down 

tear this building down. 

tear this building down 

i would tear this building down 

tear this building down 

i would tear this building down
