Clay Walker was the title track of his second studio album, which was certified platinum and cemented him as one of the best new voices in country music during the early 1990s. “If I Could Make a Living” was written by Jackson, Keith Stegall and Roger Murrah, and is an uptempo, lighthearted song that immediately connected with fans. Walker’s charming delivery and twang took the song all the way to the top of the Billboard charts in 1994.
