I wish I was a willow tree leaning on a lazy breeze Moving like a midnight train through rainy Georgia I wish I was a grain of sand laying in a baby’s hand Falling like a diamond chain into the ocean
Willow tree is strong enough to bend Never like the oak that lives in fear of the wind A grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be Lay me down and let the water wash over me
I wish I was an old guitar sitting in a beat up car Hitting every two bit bar from here to texas I wouldn’t be ashamed to look up my old friends They’d be so glad to see me strung up again
A grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be Lay me down and let the water wash over me
Nobody wants you when you’re down and out Nobody wants to know your name Just another face lost in the crowded street Here in the crowded street
I wish I was a willow tree leaning on a lazy breeze Moving like a midnight train through rainy Georgia I wish I was a grain of sand laying in a baby’s hand Falling like a diamond chain into the ocean
Willow tree is strong enough to bend Never like the oak that lives in fear of the wind A grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be Lay me down and let the water wash over me
