[Verse 1]
Load some freight trains, walk some highways
Spent some lonely nights in the rain
Help the [?], have some good times
But the night has slowed, could use some company

[Chorus]
Wish I had me (Had me)
A real fine woman (Woman)
To help me spend a lonely night
She could love me (Love me)
Till the morning (Morning)
I know some good old lovin' could make me feel alright

[Verse 2]
I've always been an easy-goin' kind of a guy
Never had to much but I got along
But lately it seems that life's passin' me by
And I feel I need a place to call home

[Chorus]
I wish I had me
A little old cabin
Way on back in the woods
Fourteen children (Children)
Good old lady (Lady)
Aw, but wishful thinking never does no good
[Bridge]
Do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do-do

[Chorus]
Wish I had me
A silver dollar
For every time I thought of settling down
Wouldn't take long (Take long)
Might be long gone (Long gone)
'Cause this wishful thinking's about to get me down
Yeah, this wishful thinking's about to get me down
