County Wishing Well

Its a wild and crazy ride in 1945
In my mind I'm making love to Ann in 1929
Back before the war and the market fell
And the devil came to earth and raised an army to himself
Back when there was hopes and dreams
In the county wishing well

Mom, I miss you more with every passing day
I miss the way the old home smelled of love and fresh cut summer hay
Dad, I'd see you cry and wouldn't understand
It took a trip around the world to see how war could shape a man
Longing for the better days while they're slipping through your hand

Its a wild and crazy ride in 1945
In my mind I'm making love to Ann in 1929
Back before the war and the market fell
And the devil came to earth and raised an army to himself
Back when there was hopes and dreams
In the county wishing well

Every year we'd take the trip up to the county fair
Ann and I would watch the sunset fall on an empty carousel
It means so much to me that you were there for her
When the angels came to take her far away from this old world
I hate myself for being here and not at home with her

Its a wild and crazy ride in 1945
In my mind I'm making love to Ann in 1929
Back before the war and the market fell
And the devil came to earth and raised an army to himself
Back when there was hopes and dreams
In the county wishing well

Back when there was hopes and dreams
In the county wishing well
