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
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

There's oil in the desert and there's blood in the sand
The keys to the kingdom are safe in the hands

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
