Wish I Was

I wish I was a willow tree, leanin' on a lazy breeze
Movin' like a midnight train through rainy Georgia
I wish I was a grain of sand, playin' in a baby's hands
Fallin' like a diamond chain into the ocean
A willow tree is strong enough to bend
Never like the oak that lives in fear of the wind
Oh a grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be
Lay me down and let the water wash over me
Wash over me
I wish I was an old guitar, sittin' in a beat-up car
Hittin' every two-bit bar from here to Texas
Oh I wouldn't be ashamed to look up my old friends
They would be so glad to see me strung up again
Oh, a grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be
Lay me down and let the water wash over me
Wash over me
Nobody wants you when you're down and out
Nobody wants to know your name
You're just another face lost in the crowded street
You're in in the crowded street
Oh I wish I was a willow tree, leanin' on a lazy breeze
Movin' like a midnight train through rainy Georgia
Oh I wish I was a grain of sand, playin' in a baby's hand
Fallin' like a diamond chain into the ocean
Oh a willow tree is strong enough to bend
Never like the oak that lives in fear of the wind
Oh a grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be
Lay me down and let the water wash over me
Wash over me
Wash over me
Wash over me
Wash over me
Wash over me
Wash over me
Wash over me
