WISHING WELL by Scott Detweiler


Wishing well
I threw a nickel in the wishing well
I threw a nickel in the wishing well
Hey, hey, in the wishing well

Yesterday I saw
A fat man with a cigar
Beautiful girls
In a big fat expensive car
So I thought to myself
If I could have just one wish
I’d wish for all those things
So I wished I could be rich

Wishing well
I threw a nickel in the wishing well
I threw a nickel in the wishing well
Hey, hey, in the wishing well

Oh, today I woke up
Lord I was the same
My woman lyin next to me
Only one thing had changed
Now I was hearin a voice
A voice I couldn’t ignore
Said I was as rich today, yeah
As I was the day before

Cause I got my eyes
And most of my teeth
Two good arms
And my hands and feet
A woman who loves me
And no one else
A bottle of wine on my kitchen shelf
And two happy children
By my side
And the stars above me
Shinin down in the night, whoa Lord

Wishing well
I threw a nickel in the wishing well
I threw a nickel in the wishing well
Hey, hey, in the wishing well

Cause I got my eyes
And most of my teeth
Two good arms
And my hands and feet
A woman who loves me
And no one else
A bottle of wine on my kitchen shelf
And two happy children
By my side
And the stars above me
Shinin down in the night, whoa Lord

Wishing well
I threw a nickel in the wishing well
I threw a nickel in the wishing well
Hey, hey, in the wishing well
