If Wishes Were Horses Lyrics by Cheri Knight

The Northeast Kingdom

1998

[Verse]
I have prayed for better days, but this is not to be
Every time I venture out, you are all I see
Nobody remembers that this town once was mine
I never meant to let it slip away
[Verse]
You've got the attentions that I used to enjoy
When I'm standing next to you, no one sees me anymore
I wanna think that I'm the one, but I won't let me fake it
If I had a wishbone I would break it
[Chorus]
I always want a thousand thing I know I'll be denied
If wishes were horsеs you know that I would ride
And you bring it all back home to me еvery time we meet
Making it so obvious, the things I'll never be
Now you're the prettiest and I've become the other one
[Solo]
[Verse]
I gotta rabbit's foot and I'm knocking on wood for all that I have lost
Would they ever bring it back someday
If I stuck needles and pins into a likeness of you
Would I ever make you go away
[Chorus]
I always want a thousand thing I know I'll be denied
If wishes were horses you know that I would ride
And you bring it all back home to me every time we meet
Making it so obvious, the things I'll never be
Now you're the prettiest and I've become the other one
You're the prettiest and I've become the other one
