Wish I Was

I wish I was a willow tree Leaning on a lazy breeze Moving like a midnight train Train to Georgia I wish I was a grain of sand Laying in a baby's hand Falling like a diamond chain Into the ocean A willow tree Is strong enough to bend Never like the oak Who lives in fear of the wind A grain of sand Is all I ever wanted to be Lay me down and let the water Wash right over me Right on over me, oh I wish I was an old guitar Sitting in a beat up car Hitting every two-bit bar From here to Texas Then I wouldn't be ashamed To look up my old friends They would be so proud To see me strung up again A grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be Lay me down and let the water Wash right over me Right on over me Nobody wants you When you're down and out Nobody wants to know your name You're just another face Lost on the crowded street I wish I was a grain of sand Laying in a baby's hand Falling like a diamond chain Into the ocean A willow tree Is strong enough to bend Never like the oak Who lives in fear of the wind A grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be Lay me down and let the water Wash right over me Right on Right on
