What You Don’t Wish For Lyrics by Walker Hayes
People think I’m crazy
And sometimes I believe ’em
Ain’t the best singer in the world, but I can’t stop singin’
Back home said face it
You ain’t got what it takes, hate to say it
But them dreams will just make you wish you’d never left town
To chase ’em
Well whether I make it or fake it till my heart can’t break no more
This one’s for
All the kids with guitars
Lookin’ up at the stars
Dream as far as your heart can dream
Write a song, make some noise
Danger’s real, but fear’s a choice
They say careful what you wish, but I say be more
Careful what you don’t wish for
Right here with my baby, is right where I’m home
Picking these six strings, working on another country song
No, I ain’t making no dollars
And I ain’t making no sense and the odds are not really a gamblers friend
Might bend, but I won’t fold now
Yeah this one’s going out to
To all the kids with guitars
Lookin’ up at the stars
Dream as far as your heart can dream
Write a song, make some noise
Danger’s real, but fear’s a choice
They say careful what you wish, but I say be more
Careful what you don’t wish for
Sometimes I hate how much I love this game
‘Cause it just makes me make a fool out of myself
But y’all I’d rather die crazy
Than live to wonder what if maybe I’d thrown another penny
In that well and I’ll always tell
All the kids with guitars
Lookin’ up at the stars
Dream as far as your heart can dream
Write a song make some noise
Danger’s real but fear’s a choice
They say careful what you wish but I say be more
Careful what you don’t wish for
