Dusty Drake - The Wish lyrics

rate me

The crowd rose to their feet

'round a diamond made of clay

a little boy was rounding third

but the ball beat him to the plate

before the dust could even settle

the other team began to cheer

instead of riding up on shoulders

hes fighting back the tears

i wish i could've won

i wish i knew how that feels

i wish i could've won

faster than the throw from centerfield

'cause being the hero, sure looks like a lot of fun

and i wish i was there

i wish life was fair

i wish i could've won

sitting there by the dugout

another boy was watching through the fence

and dreaming 'bout the things that he could do

if he was only given half a chance

amazed at the reaction of the team

kicking dirt and pitching fits

he says, "i know they'd sit it differently if they could see from where i sit

i wish i could've lost

i wish i knew how that feels

i wish that i could walk

without the help of these four wheels

i'd be as happy as a hero

just to play the game at all

and i wish that i was there

i wish that life was fair

i wish i could've lost

yeah i wish that life was fair

and i could get out of this chair

i wish i could've lost
