I Always Wanted To

Outside there's a rusty pickup Underneath a shed Mockingbird's nest in the tailpipe Empty feed sack in the bed They took away my keys Sayin' I'm too old to drive It's like they're tryin' to bury me While I'm still alive I always wanted a son I always wanted a woodshed I always wanted to ride on an open range And learn how to fly a plane, but I guess Even pictures we never take Memories we'll never make still fade I never did all I wanted to do But I always wanted to They talk like I can't hear 'em When they have to change my sheets And they're getting tired and angry 'Cause I won't accept defeat Uncle Frank lived to be a hundred Hell, I'm only ninety five I ain't raising no white flag While I'm still alive I always wanted a son I always wanted a woodshed I always wanted to ride on an open range And learn how to fly a plane, but I guess Even pictures we never take Memories we'll never make still fade I never did all I wanted to do But I always wanted to My Marie showed up this morning Floatin' right above that chair She smiled the sweetest smile at me As she hovered in the air When that fever stole her from me I was twenty seven, she was just twenty five I never dreamed I'd see my angel again While I'm still alive I always wanted a son I always wanted a woodshed I always wanted to ride on an open range And learn how to fly a plane, but I guess Even pictures we never take Memories we'll never make still fade I never did all I wanted to do But I always wanted to I never did all I wanted to do But I always wanted to --- I Always Wanted To - Cody Johnson
