If Wishes Were Horses - Claire Lynch

Well I was born with a dark cloud above me

A longing deep in my soul

I was raised up right and I know my momma loved me

But I begged her to let me go

I said, «The grass is greener on the other side

Somewhere there’s a bluer sky

I won’t stop runnin' 'til I’m satisfied

And if wishes were horses, I would ride, ride, ride»

You know, I love you, my true companion

You’ve been my lifelong friend

But there’s a hunger inside me

That I can’t abandon 'til I see what’s around the bend

You know, the grass is greener on the other side

Somewhere there’s a bluer sky

I won’t stop runnin' 'til I’m satisfied

And if wishes were horses, I would ride, ride, ride

Now I’ve been a rogue and I’ve been a rambler

I know too well my sins

I’ve got the faith of a saint but the soul of a gambler

And a heart like the restless wind

You know, the grass is greener on the other side

Somewhere there’s a bluer sky

I won’t stop runnin' 'til I’m satisfied

And if wishes were horses, I would ride, ride, ride

Yeah, if wishes were horses, I would ride, ride, ride
