wishing again.

I wonder why I keep on waking up each day just to pay the bills And all those days off just to hike alone up in the hills They keep on saying life's a journey but I don't know if it's worth the thrill Mom counts on me but all I see is a hopeless race that I'm running still Holding on to dreams that are so far out of reach Daydreaming before sleep wishing I could live in them each Tell me I'm loved tell me I'm my mama's darling But the thing is life always puts me in a losing pit Oh if life is a highway must I learn everything the hard way? And I always have that high hope Singing along with a song on an open road Always believed life's a beautiful thing but it's too much to redeem Could've loved could've left could've taken that chance But here I stand wishing again for a dream that never came Write in that book so late at night They said reading takes you back to a time when everything felt right All the money I earn so hard just to make it flow like mountain streams And all that effort to keep myself sane just for me to fall again in my dreams And I always have that high hope Singing along with a song on an open road Always believed life's a beautiful thing but it's too much to redeem Could've loved could've left could've taken that chance But here I stand wishing again for a dream that never came I wonder why I keep on waking up each day just to pay the bills And all those days off just to hike alone up in the hills They keep on saying life's a journey but I don't know if it's worth the thrill
