I made a wish upon a star
|
I could have a brand new car
|
Got tired of wishing
|
So I stole one
|
|
Seventeen and knew it all
|
My dreams were big but my thoughts were small
|
So many roads somehow I chose
|
The wrong one
|
|
CHORUS
|
But Jesus and mama always loved me
|
Even when the devil took control
|
Jesus and mama always loved me
|
This I know
|
|
I felt tried most all my life
|
Found new kinds of lows and highs
|
Never been a husband but I had a lot of wives
|
To hold me
|
|
Headstrong, stubborn, couldn't be told
|
Like a wild horse that couldn't be rode
|
A rainbow chaser hungry for gold
|
And still searchin'
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS
|
|
I wish mom could see me now
|
And how I've turned it all around
|
Lately I've been going down
|
The right road
|
|
Life's a picture that you paint
|
With blues and grays and cans of canvas
|
Heaven knows I'm not a saint
|
But I know
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS
|
