Wishing
I'm wishing on a full moon rising
Yeah wishing on a falling star
And I'm wishing on this wall
In this truck stop bathroom stall
I'd like to see my wife and children
'Fore this weekend's come and fled
It'd be so nice if anything at all was left
Once the bills get paid and the family's fed
That's why I'm wishing in this upstairs bedroom
Wishing up and down the hall,
And I'm tossing a nickel, dime or quarter
Into the little fountain down at the shopping mall
And I'd like to see a politician
Who don't sell you out from sea to shining sea
I'd like to see those Lords of MasterCard and Visa
Disappear forever from My Country 'Tis Of Thee
Now I've been told
If the moon is very blue
Even some crazy wishes might come true
And I'd like to believe that
Cause we all...we all need some hope
I need to think my life is not some goddamn joke
So I'm wishing on this four-leaf clover
Right here in my own backyard
And I'm wishing into the dirty sky
As the miles just keep on rolling by
I don't like bankers and their funny money games
And I sure don't like them smiling when they speak my name
I'd like someone I can look up to
No, not Jesus...someone alive like me and you
That's why I'm wishing for just a little justice
For occasional integrity
And I'm wishing they'd just stop all their lying
And show some simple decency
And I'm hoping my brakes will last till Yuma
And I don't go fishtailing around some bend
And I'm wishing...I'm wishing for a square deal,
And then a hot meal and just a little change
Now I've been told
If the moon is very blue
Even a trucker's wishes could come true
And I want to believe that
We all need some hope
I need to think America's not some sorry old joke
So I'm wishing outside your window
Yeah I'm wishing my life away
And I'm wishing that ordinary people
Will get to see a better day
