Wish It Was True Lyrics
Mother, I tried to do right by you.
To do what you asked me to,
I did wrong and I knew.
Mother, I tried to behave for you.
Now I'm a-digging a grave for you,
it was all I could do.
Find a way back home,
make everything new.
I wish it was true.
Father, well, I gave my soul to you.
I came in blind folded for you,
it was all that I knew.
Open your arms,
and I'll fly out of hell up to you
I wish it was true.
Boy, come on out from the cold.
You're lost outside there, don't you know?
It's not what you say, it's what you do.
Just keep wishing your wishes are true.
Well, your dreams, they're reality.
There's no pain, there's no misery.
Just polish the blood and the bruise.
For there's just no way you can lose.
Well, I wish it was true.
Country, I was a soldier for you.
I did what you asked me to,
it was wrong and you knew.
Country, now I'm just a stranger to you.
A number,a name; it's true,
threw me away when you were through.
The home of the brave and the free:
the red, white and blue.
Well, I wish it was true.
To do what you asked me to,
I did wrong and I knew.
Now I'm a-digging a grave for you,
it was all I could do.
make everything new.
I wish it was true.
I came in blind folded for you,
it was all that I knew.
and I'll fly out of hell up to you
I wish it was true.
You're lost outside there, don't you know?
It's not what you say, it's what you do.
Just keep wishing your wishes are true.
Well, your dreams, they're reality.
There's no pain, there's no misery.
Just polish the blood and the bruise.
For there's just no way you can lose.
Well, I wish it was true.
I did what you asked me to,
it was wrong and you knew.
A number,a name; it's true,
threw me away when you were through.
the red, white and blue.
Well, I wish it was true.
