Cliché has always been a hook in country music, so I thought I would give it a whirl while I swing my corner girl.
If Wishes Were Horses
VERSE 1 I look at your picture, My eyes fill with tears, At all of the changes, Through these passing years.
And I wish you were near me, Right Here by my side, But if wishes were horses, Then beggars would ride.
CHORUS If wishes were horses, and I have a few, I'd saddle one up, and ride it to you.
And I wish you were near me, Right Here by my side, But if wishes were horses, Then beggars would ride.
VERSE 2 I write you a letter, Explain how I feel, Hoping you'll know of, My love true and real.
And I wish you were near me, Right Here by my side, But if wishes were horses, Then beggars would ride.
CHORUS If wishes were horses, and I have a few, I'd saddle one up, and ride it to you.
And I wish you were near me, Right Here by my side, But if wishes were horses, Then beggars would ride.
(I hear this in my head as a country waltz).
Whaddaya think country bumpkins??

Perry,
These are pretty killer lyrics--like them a lot. Simple, but perfect--they need no more or less. Really nice write!
Regards,
Deej

Good stuff! This line: "...I have a few" bothered me because it made think the singer had to have some alcoholic beverages first. ( Possibly not your intention ) LOL Best -Mike

I think alcohol would have culminated in flying pigs.
