Song I Wrote Myself In The Future Lyrics - John Wesley Harding

I wish I could go back in time 

Tell you it has turned out fine 

Like it has, like it has, like it has 

I sit here singing in the sun 

Words not meant for anyone 

Just you, just you 

And this is the song and this is the song, oh yeah 

This is the song that I wrote myself in the future 

The air was short of hope 

Knots became your name for the rope 

Then the noose, then the noose, then the noose 

You put it down and found it made no sense 

Oh, you bought the farm and then you built the fence 

At your expense, at your expense 

And this is the song and this is the song, oh yeah 

Well, this is the song that I wrote myself in the future 

I know it's hard as you hear this for you to see 

The desperation you feel now will disappear one day 

For you, for me 

'Cause this is the song and this is the song, oh yeah 

Well, this is the song that you wrote yourself in the future 

The song that you wrote yourself in the future
