Lyrics
Wishin’ On a Lone Star
You left ev’ry dresser open
When you left with all your clothes
Walkin’ in that empty bedroom
Left my shattered heart exposed
Now I’m linin’ up the longnecks
In this dim El Paso bar
There’s a spark of hope, cos tonight I’ll cope
Wishin’ on a Lone Star
Once your love was bright and shining
But that light was bound to fall
Did I hold you much too tightly
Or just not enough at all
Now I’m wishin’ things were diff’rent
Cos tomorrow’s cold n dark
But with ev’ry beer, doubts just disappear
Wishin’ on a Lone Star
Sometimes I wish I was a richer man
Or that you’d take me for who I am
But I don’t wish to take things as they are
‘long as I’m wishin’ on a Lone Star
Cos it’s safer in the shadows
Drinkin’ in a land of dreams
Where you’d stay with me forever
Knowing what forever means
So I’m letting wishful drinkin’
Shine on in my lonely heart
Teardrops in my eye, there’s light in my sky
Wishin’ on a Lone Star
Sometimes I wish I was a richer man
Or that you’d take me for who I am
But I don’t wish to take things as they are
‘long as I’m wishin’ on a Lone Star
