If Wishes Were Horses Lyrics

If being good means being lonely that's not for me
Cause I'm lonely for someone who will never be free
If being bad means to have her I'll live without cry
If wishes were horses beggars would ride
If wishes were horses beggars would ride
If beggars could be chosers you'd be here by my side
If sinners were saints I'd have nothing to hide
If wishes were horses beggars would ride
[ steel ]
If being happy means riches then a proper I would be
When daydreams are treasures then sadness comes free
Oh I wish I had a nickel for each time I've cried
If wishes were horses beggars would ride
If wishes were horses...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
