Wishing Well

Closed my eyes and pointed at the map
Grab my bags, I'm headed 'round the world
Like a postage stamp
My first stop, a little town just outside LA
I'ma hitch a ride from a trucker
Or a young country boy
He'll drop me at main street where I can play guitar for coin
Fill my pockets, doing what I love
It's like throwing pennies in a wishing well
Never know what you'll get, you never can tell
Never been afraid of adventure
This is my thirst and
How I quench her
I'm sure I'll see some great things on this ride
It's like throwing pennies in a wishing well,
Never know what you'll get, you never can tell
It's like throwing pennies in a wishing well
Never know what you get,
Oh never know what you get
Never can tell
Then I think the smokies call to me
I'll sling up my guitar
And head towards good ol Tennessee
I hear they're good with us wandering souls
I'll get a dog along the way
He'll be my wayward friend
Ol' dog will be my sidekick
Til my journey ends
I hope, maybe
It never will
It's like throwing pennies in a wishing well,
Never know what you'll get, you never can tell
It's like throwing pennies in a wishing well
Never know what you'll get, you never can tell
