Wish It Was True Lyrics

Mother, Try to do right by you
To do what you asked me to
I did wrong and I knew.

Mother I tried to behave for you
Now I'm a digging a grave for you
It was all I could do.

Find a way back home, Make everything new
But I wish it was true.

Father, well I'll give my soul to you
I came in blind folded for you
It was all that I knew.


Open your arms and I'll fly out of hell up to you
I wish it was true.

Boy come on out from the cold
Your lost outside there don't you know
It's not what you say it was you do
Just keep wishing your wishes are true
Well your dreams there reality
There's no pain there's no misery
Just polish the blood and the bruise
For there's just no way you can lose.
But I wish it was true.

Country, I was a solider for you
I did what you asked me to
It was wrong and you knew.

Country, now I'm just a stranger to you
A number a name it's true
Throw me away when you're through.

Home of the brave and free the, the red white and blue
But I wish it was true.

The White Buffalo is American musician and singer-songwriter Jake Smith (born in Oregon in 1974/1975, and raised in California).

The White Buffalo is said to be a throwback to the time of hard touring, hard drinking artists who really lived what they sang about. Everything about him is big, from his imposing physical size to his amazing vocal range. He’s as comfortable playing in a dive bar as he is in front of thousands in a European arena.

The White Buffalo released his debut EP, The White Buffalo EP in 2005 to much critical acclaim. His later releases, including his debut album Hogtied Revisited (2009), Prepare for Black & Blue EP (2010) and second album Once Upon a Time in the West (2012) reached similar accliam.

The White Buffalo's song 'Wrong' was featured on the Taylor Steele/Keith Malloy surf movie 'Shelter'.

The White Buffalo joined the Forest Rangers to record a cover of 'House of the Rising Sun' by The Animals for the season 4 finale of Sons of Anarchy. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
