[chorus]

I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
Everythings gonna be alright
I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
Everythings gonna be alright

Ive been lost in boston, austin texas is always sweet
I stumbled around that texas town but I never left sixth street
You know its 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
Shes 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
Id do anything

I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
Everythings gonna be alright

I wish sometimes that I could say she never told me so
And Id walk a million miles on down the same old broken road
Now you can always reap just what you sew I know thats true
And I pray some day that I wake and my poor feet wont fit these shoes

I wanna go down to see her
Shes 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
Id do anything

I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
Everythings 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 Id like to hear you know I dont hear much no more
But I know someday that youll come my way and youll walk right thru that door

I wanna go down to see her
Shes 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
Id do anything

I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
Everythings gonna be alright

[repeat]
