I Wish That Wasn't All Paroles

Hearin' that song took me back to my senior year
The year I asked Mary Ellen Mayfield to the prom
She agreed to go as friends, and I remember thinkin',
"man I wish, Lord, I wish that wasn't all"

Ain't it funny how sometimes we can be unsatisfied
With things we should be thankful for
Like an old Keith Whitley or a slow dance at the senior prom
Some things just leave you wantin' more

Like the way I felt that June when Dad called me with the news
Through the tears, he told me my granddad was gone
He lived til' he was ninety-five, I know that was a long life
Still I wish, Lord, I wish that wasn't all

Ain't it funny how sometimes we can be unsatisfied
With things we should be thankful for
Like the time we get to spend with the ones we love, family and friends
Some things just leave you wantin' more
Still I'd wish, I'd wish that wasn't all
Yeah I wish, Lord, I wish that wasn't all
