[Chorus]



I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me

Everything's gonna be alright

I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me

Everything's gonna be alright



I've been lost in Boston, Austin Texas is always sweet

I stumbled around that Texas town but I never left Sixth Street

You know it's always hard to keep my feet from tryin' to run away

And it seems I spent a lifetime tryin' to make everything ok



I wanna go down to see her

She's my little queen

I wanna go down to tell her

She means the world to me

I wish I was down to watch her

Play that tambourine

She always brought a smile to me

I'd do anything



I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me

Everything's gonna be alright



I wish sometimes that I could say she never told me so

And I'd walk a million miles on down the same old broken road

Now you can always reap just what you sew I know that's true

And I pray some day that I wake and my poor feet won't fit these shoes



I wanna go down to see her

She's my little queen

I wanna go down to tell her

She means the world to me

I wish I was down to watch her

Play that tambourine

She always brought a smile to me

I'd do anything



I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me

Everything's gonna be alright



If I listened closely I can hear it oh so clear

Like a south bound train like fallin' rain like a whisper in my ear

Everything I'd like to hear you know I don't hear much no more

But I know someday that you'll come my way and you'll walk right thru that door



I wanna go down to see her

She's my little queen

I wanna go down to tell her

She means the world to me

I wish I was down to watch her

Play that tambourine

She always brought a smile to me

I'd do anything



I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me

Everything's gonna be alright
