I lied. I have it on the Rounder O Sister! collection. Nice song.
If Wishes Were Horses (Gretchen Peters)
Well, I was born with a dark cloud above me, A longing deep in my soul I was raised up right, and I know my mama loved me, But I begged her to let me go.
CHORUS: I said the grass is greener on the other side, Somewhere there's a bluer sky I won't stop runnin' til I'm satisfied, And if wishes were horses, I would ride, ride, ride.
You know I love you, my true companion, You've been my life-long friend; But there's a hunger inside me that I can't abandon Til I see what's around the bend.
[Chorus and instrumental break]
Now I've been a road (?) and I've been a rambler I know too well my sins I've got the faith of a saint but the soul of a gambler And a heart like the restless wind.
