Wishing Here and There

Heavy tears on her face No where to jog or bike trails to ride Wishing for the joys of home Somewhere not in the city Making new friends is not easy Neighborhood folk want right past her Wishing for the joys of home Somewhere not in the city Cows on milk cartons instead of in the field Eggs splash on windshields not in frying pans Wishing for the joys of home Somewhere not in the city Hotdogs for lunch instead of brats Doesn’t everyone do fish fry Friday Wishing for the joys of home Somewhere not in the city Bubbler and water fountain are a laugh Loan me a pen or borrow me a pen Wishing for the joys of home Somewhere not in the city Assimilation can be tough for a newcomer Learning new things and keeping the old Wishing for the joys of home Somewhere not in the city
