Careful What You Wish For
Lyricist:Michael Maida
Oh my my, look what I've done I'm on the run, I've got California I kissed you goodbye with a tear in my eye I packed up my truck and went for a drive
These white yellow lines, these angel filled skies The road might be long but it's my road tonight It's a Leonard Cohen song, a Buddah, Allah Monk You can be anything you want I'm an Italian Catholic punk and I'm on my way On my way, oh la la, I'm on my way
The ocean appears, the wind slaps my face Oh, Shangri La, what a beautiful place I'm nervous but steady, I'm scared but I'm ready No turning back, 3000 miles in a Chevy
And I slam on the brakes, put my toes in the sand Look to the constellations and I throw up my hands I said, God be my driver, God, be my lighter Nobody ages, I guess nobody dies here
I'll be careful for what I wish for in this life Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 'Cause I know, I'll miss yesterday And I'll come back to you before I'm old and gray I'll come home but it seems so far away
The sky turned red, the ocean pulled away What the hell's going on, how come no one's afraid I said, ‽Hey Mr Soul what you got for me†Well, I pulled out my wallet, I know nothing here's free
And God do you back this, this town is a black list Oh boy, what a big mess, even Mickey's on acid I'm willing and able, my cards are on this fable Come on, Alice, we're too good to wait tables
I'll be careful for what I wish for in this life 'Cause I know, I'll miss yesterday And I'll come back to you before I'm old and gray I'll come home, it seems so far away Seems so far away, you're so far away, ooh and oh, and oh, oh
Oh my my, what have I done? What have I done? I went to California, I'm gonna leave California
