Top of the World

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I wished I was smarter I wished I was stronger I wished I loved Jesus The way my wife does I wished it had been easier Instead of any longer I wished I could have stood Where you would've been proud But that won't happen now That won't happen now [Chorus] There's a whole lot of singin' that's never gonna be heard Disappearin' every day without so much as a word, somehow Think I broke the wings off that little songbird 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 evenin' Sit in my chair One night they called me for supper but I never got up I stayed right there in my chair [Chorus] There's a whole lot of singin' that's never gonna be heard Disappearin' every day without so much as a word, somehow Think I broke the wings off that little songbird She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now [Verse 3] I wished I'da known you Wished I'da shown you All of the things I Was on the inside I'd pretend to be sleepin' When you come in in the mornin' To whisper goodbye Go to work in the rain I don't know why Don't know why [Chorus] 'Cause everyone's singin', we just wanna be heard Disappearin' every day without so much as a word, somehow Wanna grab a hold of that little songbird Take her for a ride to the top of the world right now [Outro] Whoa-oh Whoa-oh To the top of the world To the top of the world To the top of the world To the top of the world To the top of the world To the top of the world To the top of the world To the top of the world
