I wish that I smoked cigarettes Maybe I'd be thinner I wish that I still went to church Maybe I'm a sinner I wish I had a lowride car so I could drive my lowride heart To somewhere where nobody knows your name I wish that I could call you, but I wish I didn't want to I wish that I could have you, but I wish I didn't want you I wish that it got better just like people say I wish that I could wish you, I wish that I could wish you away And I'd be okay I bet I'll forget my own name Before I'd forget you But I'll forgive all my enemies Before I'll forgive you If I think about it long enough I'll think those memories to dust And finally I could give her what she needs I wish that I could call you, but I wish I didn't want to I wish that I could have you, but I wish I didn't want you I wish that it got better just like people say I wish that I could wish you, I wish that I could wish you away And I'd be okay They'll be better days coming for me Better days coming for me But right now I'm slummin, bummin and slummin away and that's okay I wish that I could call you, but I wish I didn't want to I wish that I could have you, but I wish I didn't want you I wish that it got better just like people say I wish that I could wish you, I wish that I could wish you away And I'd be okay But that's just wishful thinking
