I Wish Lyrics by Darrell Scott

Aloha from Nashville

0

One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
I wish I was a chauffeur
California, New Year's Eve
Driving around a pretty lady with a hanky up her sleeve
I would light her tiparillos just as civil as you please

[Verse 2]
I wish I was a diver on a ship with Jacques Cousteau
I'd get a picture in our rubber suits so that everyone would know
"Hey, you really know Jacques?" I'd say, "Yeah, just look at this"
I'd show it everywhere I go, Jacques Cousteau, Jacques Cousteau

[Verse 3]
I wish I was a cartoon
I wish I was Peter Pan
Then I could fly away from sorrow and never have to feel like a man
You ask me why I'm still a child, boy?
Well, it's just because I am

[Verse 4]
Well I wish I had a cabin on the top of some big hill
I'd build a fire every evening and listen to the whippoorwill
Eat my food out of a garden and drink my whiskey from a still

[Verse 4]
Well I wish I was a diamond on the back of your skinny little hand
Then I could keep my eye on you girl
Maybe then, maybe then I would understand
How you just leave us all weeping just to prove that you still can
Sure you still can
You still gotta
