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
