From the recording Wild Card
Lyrics
this song now has many verses
but i only sing five at a time
i never know which ones
and sometimes i even make one up on the spot
wish no mo'
wish i was in new orleans
living well beyond my means
bon temps roulez till daylight
start again when day turns night
maybe some day
i'll find my way
i'll up and go
then i won't have to wish no mo'
wish i was in birmingham
way down south in alabam
sip mint juleps till sundown
dress up nice and paint the town
maybe some day...
wish i was in santa cruz
with some sand inside my shoes
crashing surf and sunny days
just a taste of california haze
maybe some day...
wish i was in new south wales
with a pint of vic bitter ale
way down under's the place to be
with the 'roos and a wallaby
maybe some day...
wish i was in dublin town
drinking that fine guinness down
like to go but i believe
it would be too hard to leave
maybe some day...
no i won't have to wish no mo'
