"Crooked Path" If wishes were horses If wishes were horses beggars would ride and we’d leave this town you and I we’d beat the sunset be there by dawn leave our troubles far behind Chorus: that’s not how life goes everybody knows it takes a long long time a long long time to get it right it takes a long long time We wouldn’t leave a trail silent as the night pretend that nothing's really wrong we’d follow every train I know the way by the time they woke we’d be long gone Chorus We wouldn’t even have to fight or say they were right nobody’d even have to know where it is we’d go We wouldn’t need no cash to make our escape your arms in mine would be our home Chorus
