[Chorus] I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me Everything's gonna be alright I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me Everything's gonna be alright I've been lost in Boston, Austin Texas is always sweet I stumbled around that Texas town but I never left Sixth Street You know it's always hard to keep my feet from tryin' to run away And it seems I spent a lifetime tryin' to make everything ok I want to go down to see her She's my little queen I want to go down to tell her She means the world to me I wish I was down to watch her Play that tambourine She always brought a smile to me I'd do anything I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me Everything's gonna be alright I wish sometimes that I could say she never told me so And I'd walk a million miles on down the same old broken road Now you can always reap just what you sew I know that's true And I pray some day that I wake and my poor feet won't fit these shoes I want to go down to see her She's my little queen I want to go down to tell her She means the world to me I wish I was down to watch her Play that tambourine She always brought a smile to me I'd do anything I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me Everything's gonna be alright If I listened closely I can hear it oh so clear Like a south bound train like fallin' rain like a whisper in my ear Everything I'd like to hear you know I don't hear much no more But I know someday that you'll come my way and you'll walk right through that door I want to go down to see her She's my little queen I want to go down to tell her She means the world to me I wish I was down to watch her Play that tambourine She always brought a smile to me I'd do anything I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me Everything's gonna be alright
