Couldn't wait to ride out of that one horse town
       D          G
Didn't see no use in sticking around
      D                 G               A
I was green and busting at the seams to leave
      D             G
I was sitting on G, waiting on O

It ain't quite what real life has in store

She was holding on just a little too tight
         D               G
Talked a little too much about the rest of our lives
  D               G                          A
I broke her heart thinking freedom would set me free
               Em                    D                   G
Well sometimes things ain't what you think they're gonna be

So be careful what you wish for

             Em                                     D
'Cause these city lights can't shine quite like the stars
       G                          A
I wish I could wish her back into my arms
