Story behind the song
Long-distance relationships...heart wrenching yet simple. 'If I won the lottery today', it still wouldn't get me what I need.
Lyrics
If I won the lottery today You could say things were going my way I'd buy a big house and a candy bar I'd make friends I never knew I had All in all, I guess things wouldn't be so bad I'd wear fancy clothes and a big smile, for a while And I still have all my teeth and both eyes Got my ears, I can hear At least, I hear when I want to But my soul is hungry, my body needs To be held like a child in your arms 'Cause my heart is heavy, I long to be near you Just to see your sweet face for a while I can have everything and more Newspaper brought to my door Colourful pictures of you I could buy anything to substitute for the real thing But nothing compares to you They give me everything I need Food and clothes and a roof over my head I go running every day to keep my soul fed I keep as busy as I can Surround myself with people who understand That life has its ups and downs I read a lot and read and sleep and write a lot 'Cause I got, I got to myself from going crazy 'Cause my mind keeps wandering My thoughts run back to all the times we spent Making time And the tears keep flowing as the days keep rolling away As long as I'm away from you I could have everything and more...
