Lyrics
If Wishes Were Horses
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why'd I turn on you and say those things?
I didn't mean 'em
Wish you were bringin' your love back to me
Instead of leavin'
But if
Wishes were horses, I'd have a ranch
Come on and give me another chance
Come on and give me
Come on and give me
Come on and give me
Another chance
We used to drive through the canyons
Down to where
The land meets the sea
I never knew what I had back there
Till you went away from me
But if
Wishes were horses, I'd have a ranch
Come on and give me another chance
Come on and give me
Come on and give me
Come on and give me
Another chance
I was scared of standing on the edge
Darkness lookin' in
I hurt you bad and now I wish
We could begin again
But if
Wishes were horses, I'd have a ranch
Come on and give me another chance
Come on and give me
Come on and give me
Come on and give me
Another chance
Wish I could turn a sad and blue, blue day
Into something good
Wish I could somehow make it go away
I wish you understood.
Come on and give me
Come on and give me
Come on and give me
Another chance
