If Wishes Were Horses

If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride
I’m livin' on nothin' but
My hard luck and pride
I could use your company
I could use a friend
I’m feelin' like a willow tree
I always have to bend
It’s a house full of lonely
And I live inside
A thousand reflections
On this carnival ride
Some are fat and some are thin
Some a crooked line
I can’t tell which frame I’m in
It’s like I’m spinning blind
If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride
I’m livin' on nothin' but
My hard luck and pride
Won’t you tell me a story
You can take your time
There’s no place that I have to be and
I don’t really mind
I like the way you talk to me
I hope you understand
You’ve got my trust and sympathy
Anything
If I can
If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride
I’m livin' on nothin' but
My hard luck and pride
