Top of the World

[Verse 1] I wished I was smarter I wished I was stronger I wished I loved Jesus The way my wife does I wish it had been easier Instead of any longer I wished I could have stood Where you would have been proud But that won't happen now That won't happen now [Chorus] There's a whole lot of singing that's never going to be heard Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow Think I broke the wings off that little song bird She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now Top of the world [Verse 2] I don't have to answer any of these questions Don't have no God to teach me no lessons I come home in the evening Sit in my chair One night they called me for supper But I never got up I stayed right there in my chair [Chorus] [Verse 3] I wished I'd a known you Wished I'd a shown you All of the things I was on the inside I'd pretend to be sleeping When you come in in the morning To whisper good-bye Go to work in the rain I don't know why Don't know why Because everyone's singing We just wanna be heard Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow Want to grab a hold of that little song bird Take her for a ride to the top of the world right now [Outro] To the top of the world[x8]
