Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
If I had a block of wood
I'd fashion myself something good
A guitar, or a fishing pole
Something that would not get old
If I had a block of wood

[Verse 2]
If I had a roll of twine
I'd make myself a rope to climb
And tie it to the highest tree
Look out far as I could see
If I had a roll of twine

[Chorus]
If I could leave a thing behind
A story for peace of mind
Peace of mind

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Oh, if I wrote about my life
I'd write it now, and not think twice
And even in an open book
Hope someday they'd take a look
Let 'em know I did my best
Before they laid me down to rest

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Ooh, peace of mind
Ooh, peace of mind
Ooh, peace of mind
Ooh, peace of mind

[Chorus]

[Outro]
If I could leave a thing behind
A story for peace of mind
A story for peace of mind
Peace of mind
Yeah
Alright
