I Wish I Could Have Been Along lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come in, come in, come in, my friend
Come on in and stay for a time
Come and rest yourself upon my floor
And tell me of the changes in your mind

[Chorus]
And I wish that I could have been along on the road
I wish that I could have been along

[Verse 2]
Oh, tell me of the men that you've known in your days
Tell me of the women in your nights
Oh, did they bring you down into the depths
Or raise you up into the heights?

[Chorus]
And I wish that I could have been along on the road
I wish that I could have been along

[Verse 3]
And were you ever lonely on the highway?
Did you ever taste the silence of despair?
And on all the journeys that you've ever gone
Did you find any love anywhere?
[Chorus]
And I wish that I could have been along on the road
I wish that I could have been along

[Verse 4]
Was there more than travelin' in your time?
Was there more than riches in your wealth?
Did you find out a little more about the world?
Did you find a little more about yourself?

[Chorus]
And I wish that I could have been along on the road
I wish that I could have been along

[Verse 5]
And as for me, my time is full
And I'm still a-waitin' for my ride
So when you return I hope you'll come back again
And tell me what's a-goin' on outside

[Chorus]
And I wish that I could have been along on the road
I wish that I could have been along

[Verse 1]
Come in, come in, come in, my friend
Come on in and stay for a time
Come and rest yourself upon my floor
And tell me of the changes in your mind
[Chorus]
And I wish that I could have been along on the road
I wish that I could have been along
