[Verse 1]
I wish that I smoked cigarettes
Maybe I'd be thinner
I wish that I still went to church
Maybe I'm a sinner
I wish I had a lowride car so I could drive my lowride heart to somewhere where nobody knows your name

[Chorus]
I wish that I could call you, but I wish I didn't want to
I wish that I could have you, but I wish I didn't want you
I wish that it got better just like people say
I wish that I could wish you, I wish that I could wish you away
And I'd be okay

[Verse 2]
I bet I'll forget my own name
Before I'd forget you
But I'll forgive all my enemies
Before I'll forgive you
If I think about it long enough I'll think those memories to dust and finally I could give her what she needs

[Chorus]
I wish that I could call you, but I wish I didn't want to
I wish that I could have you, but I wish I didn't want you
I wish that it got better just like people say
I wish that I could wish you, I wish that I could wish you away
And I'd be okay
[Bridge]
There'll be better days coming for me
There'll be better days coming for me
But right now I'm slummin', bummin' and slummin' away and that's okay
There'll be better days coming for me
There'll be better days coming for me
But right now I'm slummin', bummin' and slummin' away and that's okay

[Chorus]
I wish that I could call you, but I wish I didn't want to
I wish that I could have you, but I wish I didn't want you
I wish that it got better just like people say
I wish that I could wish you, I wish that I could wish you away
And I'd be okay
Wish you away
But that's just wishful thinking
