I wish I was a willow tree
Leaning on a lazy breeze
Moving like a midnight train
Train to Georgia
I wish I was a grain of sand
Laying in a baby's hand
Falling like a diamond chain
Into the ocean
A willow tree
Is strong enough to bend
Never like the oak
Who lives in fear of the wind
A grain of sand
Is all I ever wanted to be
Lay me down and let the water
Wash right over me
Right on over me, oh
I wish I was an old guitar
Sitting in a beat up car
Hitting every two-bit bar
From here to Texas
Then I wouldn't be ashamed
To look up my old friends
They would be so proud
To see me strung up again
A grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be
Lay me down and let the water
Wash right over me
Right on over me
ย
Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Nobody wants to know your name
You're just another face
Lost on the crowded street
ย
I wish I was a grain of sand
Laying in a baby's hand
Falling like a diamond chain
Into the ocean
A willow tree
Is strong enough to bend
Never like the oak
Who lives in fear of the wind
A grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be
Lay me down and let the water
Wash right over me
Right on
Right on
