Verse 1
Outside there’s a rusty picker underneath the shed
Marking bird’s nest in a tail pad
Empty feet is I can bear
They took away my keys saying I’m too old to drive
It’s like they’re trying to bury me while I’m still alive
Chorus
I always wanted the sun
I always wanted a wood shell
I’ve always wanted to ride on an open range
Learn how to fly a plane but I
I guess even pictures we never take
Memories will never make
Still fades
I never did what i wanted to do
But I’ve always wanted to
Verse 2
They talk like I can’t hear them
When they have to wash my sheets
They’re getting tired and angry
Cause I won’t accept the fee
Uncle Fray lived to be a hundred
And now I’m only 95
Are you raising all my flag
While I’m still alive
Chorus
I always wanted the sun
I always wanted a wood shell
I’ve always wanted to ride on an open range
Learn how to fly a plane but I
I guess even pictures we never take
Memories will never make
Still fades
I never did what I wanted to do
But I’ve always wanted to
Verse 3
My movie showed up this morning
From the right above the chair
Just smile the sweetest smile
As she hovered in the air
That feel was stolen from me
I was 27 shes was 28
I never dreamed that I’d see that angel again
While I’m still alive
Chorus
I always wanted the sun
I always wanted a wood shell
I’ve always wanted to ride on an open range
Learn how to fly a plane but I
I guess even pictures we never take
Memories will never make
Still fades
I never did what i wanted to do
But I’ve always wanted to
Hmmmmmm
I never did what i wanted to do
But I’ve always wanted to
