lyrics

Verse 1
Sometimes I wish I was a sailor
Sailing on the deep blue seas
Wind at my back sun on my face
Running from the human race
Heading where I please
Verse 2
Sometimes I wish I was a cowboy
Riding trails that never end
Campfire guitar a million stars
Don’t know where my neighbours are
Old grey mare my one true friend
Chorus
But I’m just a man an ordinary man
Doing what I do the very best I can
I work hard I pay my dues
I have my dreams but a man’s gotta do
What a man’s gotta do
Verse 3
Sometimes I wish I was a rock star
Fans all shouting out my name
I am making lots of dough
Playing songs that they all know
I am the next big thing they claim
Verse 4
Sometimes I wish I was a scientist
A genius a household name
Considered O so wise
I even win the Nobel prize
For discoveries I’ve made
Chorus
But I’m just a man an ordinary man
Doing what I do the very best I can
I work hard I pay my dues
I have my dreams but a man’s gotta do
What a man’s gotta do
Bridge
I am content with what I’ve got
Count blessings every day
But I won’t stop my dreaming
They’re my secret getaway
Verse 5
I wish I was a better man
In word and deed and thought and truth
Kinder wiser bigger heart
Much more love I could impart
That’s what I’m thinking I should do
Verse 4
He chooses to forgive her
Extend to her some grace
Love her from a distance
Give her a little space
Hoping she will one day see
His love for her remains
He’d take her back no matter what
The cost, the shame, the pain
Chorus
This is the tragedy of love
When love is flowing just one way
When love is not returned
It breaks your heart in two
This is the tragedy of love
