Lyrics
Wishful Thinking For a second I thought, we’ve wandered long enough ‘Cause we’re leaving California baby so cleaned out Gotta drive straight to Nashville in one sundown But what I fear the most is waking up uninspired I’d rather bet on that blue glint of mischief in your eyes And know we’ll never grow old from being too gun-shy Maybe we are just wishful thinking From a long line of naïve dreamers Maybe we’ve just hit lucky weather And soon the world will snow us under But baby let’s keep wishful thinking I picture you in Paris, a little girl on the Metro train Oh and countin’ the stops to your temporary street And side-steppin’ the winos with your groceries I can’t believe your brother was given only weeks to live But your folks didn’t listen, they sold the house back home And now eighteen years later he’s as tall as an oak Maybe we are just wishful thinking From a long line of naïve dreamers Maybe we’ve just hit lucky weather And soon the world will snow us under But baby let’s keep wishful thinking Well what do you see, just up the road Whatever you long for, that’ll be home Maybe we are just wishful thinking From a long line of naïve dreamers Maybe we’ve just hit lucky weather And soon the world will snow us under Maybe we are just wishful thinking From a long line of naïve dreamers But baby let’s keep wishful thinking Jesse Terry – Jackson Beach Music (SESAC) 2011
