Key of D

You was driving through my back stage baby, with a penny whistle in your hand,
You said you were looking for amusement,
but you was trying to con the One Man Band
and you don’t have to play those notes any more
you can just sort of sneak on through that back stage door.

And if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

Well they said that life was something special,
& you said you’d do the best that you can,
with the broken dreams, & the sordid schemas & the talent there in your left hand
Guitar truths & expectations, and your last lonely nickel in the band.
And if wishes were horses, well we wouldn’t play these one night stands.
There was a time you knew the notes so clear, dedication led your path to fame,
then the parlor tricks, & the easy fix, made integrity a public game,
and you don’t have to play those chords any more,
you can just forget about sneaking threw that back stage door,

And if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

You was driving through my back stage baby, with a penny whistle in your hand,
You said you were looking for amusement,
but you was trying to con the One Man Band
and you don’t have to play those notes any more,
you can stand up tall & forget about sneaking through that back stage door.
put away your regrets, your profits & debts & just do it once more.
your the queen, your the king, you can do anything,
what are you waiting for ...

And if wishes were horses, beggars would ride!
