Wish I had a quarter. Wish I had a dime
Just wish I had a nickel for every single time
I counted on magic or made foolish wishes.
I would be a man of untold riches.
But I would give you half so we could run away
And maybe live to wish another day.
We'd live our dreams, our plans and schemes,
Those bright, bold things that we dare.
Funny how the future is always in the past.
Tragic how the moment just never seems to last.
It's smoke through your fingers. Like water through sand.
Those precious day will never come again.
So we live our lives with some style & grace
And figure out we're not just here to take up space.
We live & learn. Lust & burn
We love & yearn in despair.
Going down the mountain from Boone to Sugar Grove.
Huntin' for the Holler back up in the Cove.
Lookin' for a woman, Sister of the Moon
And somewhere I can sit and play a tune.
Then we'll wash our woes in the ancient creek
And feel the stones of time underneath our feet.
We'll laugh and swing - dance and sing
Till joy takes wing with our care.
