[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
[repeat]
