Wishful Thinking Lyrics & Chords By Joel Plaskett

I'm holding court with the king of the camp
I'm a working horse, a postage stamp
Tune up my guitar, turn on my amp

Well I felt so sad when I got off the plane
I don't wanna go to New York City again
Kissin' you goodbye in the pissing rain

But if wishful thinkin' is all I got
Keep on thinkin' wishful thoughts, thinkin' wishful thoughts
I wish you were here, but you're not
No, no, no, but you're not

I feel like a sailor lost on the seas
Catchin' a cold, maybe catchin' a breeze
Standin' on the prairie lookin' for trees

Rock and roll's wrapped 'round me as tight as a noose
And from the front of the train you can't see the caboose
In northern New Brunswick watch out for the moose

But if wishful thinkin' is all I got
Keep on thinkin' wishful thoughts, thinkin' wishful thoughts
I wish you were here, but you're not
No, no, no, but you're not
But you're not

You put your gas in your tank, you put some air in your lungs
'Cause you know that there's a song that's gotta get sung
It's a long, long way to Winnipeg
And I ain't too proud to shake a leg
Sing for my supper, break me an egg

But if wishful thinkin' is all I got
Keep on thinkin' wishful thoughts, thinkin' wishful thoughts
I wish you were here, but you're not
No, no, no, but you're not
No, no, no, but you're not
But you're not

CD's for sale at the back of the hall
Buy one, buy 'em all
Couple bucks cheaper than they are at the mall
Thank you, good night, I'll be back in the fall

Seasons come and season go
Nobody wants to end the rock n' roll show
Look at you, love, you got that golden glow

Goin' down, goin' down, goin' down
Goin' down, goin' down, goin' down
Goin' down, goin' down, goin' down
Goin' down

North of the sun and south of the snow
No particular destination, no particular plant to grow
Buckle up baby, let's rock down the road

Highway white lines are freakin' me out
Wondering what you're doin', are you out and about?
Gettin' lost, gettin' lost, gettin' lost, gettin' lost
Gettin' lost on the paper on my paper route

But if wishful thinkin' is all I got
Keep on thinkin' wishful thoughts, thinkin' wishful thoughts
I wish you were here, but you're not
No, no, no, but you're not
No, no, no, but you're not

Guitar's singin' a song for free
Why's everybody always pickin' on me?
Tweedle Dee
Tweedley Dum and Tweedley Dee

But if wishful thinkin' is all I got
Keep on thinkin' wishful thoughts, thinkin' wishful thoughts
I wish you were here, but you're not
No, no, no, but you're not
Where'd you go, 'cause you're not
