Wish It Was True

Mother, Try to do right by you

To do what you asked me to

I did wrong and I knew.

Mother I tried to behave for you

Now I’m a digging a grave for you

It was all I could do.

Find a way back home, Make everything new

But I wish it was true.

Father, well I’ll give my soul to you

I came in blind folded for you

It was all that I knew.

Open your arms and I’ll fly out of hell up to you

I wish it was true.

Boy come on out from the cold

Your lost outside there don’t you know

It’s not what you say it was you do

Just keep wishing your wishes are true

Well your dreams there reality

There’s no pain there’s no misery

Just polish the blood and the bruise

For there’s just no way you can lose.

But I wish it was true.

Country, I was a solider for you

I did what you asked me to

It was wrong and you knew.

Country, now I’m just a stranger to you

A number a name it’s true

Throw me away when you’re through.

Home of the brave and free the, the red white and blue

But I wish it was true.
