Chorus
  
  I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
  Everything's gonna be alright
  I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
  Everything's gonna be alright
  
  I've been lost in Boston, Austin Texas is always sweet
  I stumbled around that Texas town but I never left Sixth Street
  You know it's always hard to keep my feet from tryin' to run away
  And it seems I spent a lifetime tryin' to make everything ok
  
  I wanna go down to see her
  She's my little queen
  I wanna go down to tell her
  She means the world to me
  I wish I was down to watch her
  Play that tambourine
  She always brought a smile to me
  I'd do anything
  I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
  Everything's gonna be alright
  
  I wish sometimes that I could say she never told me so
  And I'd walk a million miles on down the same old broken road
  Now you can always reap just what you sew I know that's true
  And I pray some day that I wake and my poor feet won't fit these shoes
  I wanna go down to see her
  She's my little queen
  I wanna go down to tell her
  She means the world to me
  I wish I was down to watch her
  Play that tambourine
  She always brought a smile to me
  I'd do anything
  
  I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
  Everything's gonna be alright
  Like a south bound train like fallin' rain like a whisper in my ear
  Everything I'd like to hear you know I don't hear much no more
  But I know someday that you'll come my way and you'll walk right thru that door
  
  I wanna go down to see her
  She's my little queen
  I wanna go down to tell her
  She means the world to me
  I wish I was down to watch her
  Play that tambourine
  She always brought a smile to me
  I'd do anything
  
  I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
  Everything's gonna be alright
