Lyrics

I Wish

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

I sit alone almost every night
I watch those trains roll on by, out of sight
I know it's not the same old strory
It's new to me, I'd say so
It's not the only way to be

Work in town on nothing for free
Nothing left in this place for
Likes of me out
I wish to god
I just wish that I

Got no money in my pocket you see
Oh-oh, gimme no, gimme no, gimme no, gimme no, ah!
No money in my pockets you see
Oh-oh, gimme no, gimme no, gimme no, gimme no, ah!

Not the same old story
It's new to me
I would say so
But the only way to be

I'm pipin' almost every night
I watch my dreams float by, out of sight
I wish to God but I just been stabbed, oh
Alright George Deaver!

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Got no money in my pocket you see
Oh-oh, gimme no, gimme no, gimme no, gimme no, ah!
No money in pockets you see
Oh, gimme no, gimme no, gimme no, gimme no

Not the same old story
It's new to me
I would say so
But the only way to be

I'm pipin' almost every night
I watch my dreams float by, out of sight
I wish to God that I'd just been stabbed, oh
All the way this time

Gimme more
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh
