Everybody's Got a Story

Everybody's got a story Everybody's got a tale to tell Everybody's been sorry Drop a nickel in the wishing well Wish I may, wish I might Have the wish I make tonight Sooner or later iIt all comes tumbling down Sooner or later Your head's gonna hit the ground Take it or leave it There's just no turnin' around How many hearts have been broken And who hasn't lost a friend How many harsh words spoken Bringing so many dreams to an end Wish I may, wish I might Have the wish I make tonight Young man struttin' like a rooster He thinks time is on his side Old man's watchin' Knows there's no use struttin' Cause time passes everyone by Sooner or later It all come tumbling down Sooner or later Your head's gonna hit the ground Pretty woman smiling in the mirror She's looking might fine But it won't last forever She knows it's now or never Like a rainbow fading in the sky Wish I may, wish I might Have the wish I make tonight Johnny said, "Daddy, you can drive my pickup And sister, you can play my guitar I'm going to Iraq, Momma, I'm coming back You know I'm hitched to a lucky star" Wish I may, wish I might Have the wish I make tonight There's oil in the desert and there's blood in the sand The keys to the kingdom are safe in the hands Of the ones making speeches and issuing commands Politicians preach, bankers pull the strings People in the bleachers clap and everybody sings "Alleluia, Alleluia, Amen, Amen When Johnny comes marching home again Hurrah, Hurrah" some boys came home wearing medals Johnny came home in a box Everybody's got a story Everybody's got a tale to tell Everybody's been sorry Drop a nickel in the wishing well Wish I may, wish I might Have the wish I make tonight Star light, star bright First star I see tonight
