Beggars Would Ride (Gwyneth Moreland & Skyler Hinkle)

No one can wish the full sun to back up
No one can wish full a dry empty cup
You can't wish a donkey to a steed so fine
So I guess I'll just sit here an wish you were mine

You can long for a bed so soft of fine down
You can long for a home with a hearth and a hound
You can long for the home that you left at the start
But I guess I'll just sit here and long for your heart

You can take what you've got hold it close it's your lot
Or forsake what you've got leave your leavings to rot, leave your leavings to rot
If wishes were horses the beggars would ride
If wishes were horses the beggars would ride

You can hope for your garden to cover the soil
You can hope there's an end to the sweat and the toil
You can hope for the sweet rain to fall from above
So I guess I'll just sit here and hope for your love

You can hope for a dream that you're having to end
But the last hope we have is the hope of a friend
If wishes were horses the beggars would ride
