Wishin' For You

All the street lights on Main Street know my shadow

All the stars up in the sky know all my wishes

And the sidewalk on your street know my footsteps

And the stars keep tellin me I'm repetitious

I keep wishin for you

It's more than you'd ever do all alone

On and on and on

I keep wishin for you

It's more than you'd ever do in a pinch

Honey it's a cinch

To keep wishin for you

All the boys down at the poolhall got my number

Some gal up in some hotel got my shoes

Ah but I still got my last, bottom, dollar

Lucky me I never lost more than I could lose

I keep wishin for you

It's more than you'd ever do all alone

If you can't wish on your own

I keep wishin for you

It's more than you'd ever do in a squeeze

It ain't nothin' to sneeze at

Wishin for you

All the dogs down at the dumpyard can hear me whistle

As I walk through my hometown wild as a stranger,

Oh, but the kiss of love is hotter than a pistol,

And I think it's safe to say I love the danger.

I keep wishin for you

It's more than you'd ever do all alone

If you can't wish on your own

I keep wishin for you

It's more than you'd ever do, in the wind,

And when the wind don't blow even then,

I keep wishin for you.
