lyrics

Every day that I spend on my guitar I wanna see my best friend
I wanna travel the whole world then I wanna travel it again catching all the spots that we missed on the first go around
I wish life worked like that
you walk in the gas station hon to get something sweet
I'm pumping gas on pump 13 I think these locals are freaks
Now we got to run like we would in the old times ought to seem like it's cool to have no clue what to do next in the next act
I wish life worked like that

I saw it from a mile away but it didn't stop it from happening
I tried to hit the brakes but someone must've up and cut em
I saw the windshield crack but the airbag didn't hurt mama
I woke up in this room and I don't know where my sweetheart is
They say that she's okay but that she's in another ambulance
I rode a different way and then it didn't seem to happen yet
I turned around and took her home I wish life worked like that
