lyrics

I wish I could read the minds of women
Wish I had gills for swimmin'
Wish I had movie star looks
I wish I knew every trick in the book.

I'd like to feel first love again
Be forty years younger
But the greatest wish I want to come true
I want my dog to live longer.

Wish I was the king of rock and roll
Wish I was cool and in the know
And I wish I'd wrote "Blowin' in the Wind"
I'd like to see my late mother again.

I'd like to stop poverty
Save this world from hunger
But the greatest wish I want to come true
I want my dog to live longer.

I want my dog to live longer
Cause when she goes I'll be blue
If I had the power oh, I'd have her live as
long as me and you.

God's got a reason for everything
And in the lord I trust
But this ain't right, God needs to see the light
Dogs don't live long enough.

She cheers me up when I'm sad
She's the best friend I've ever had
And I don't care where her nose has been
I let her lick my face again and again.

Her love is unconditional
And that just makes me stronger
But the greatest wish I want to come true
I want my dog to live longer.

But the greatest wish I want to come true
I want my dog to live longer.

about

SaltyPaws Punta Gorda, Florida

When you think of wandering minstrels, do you ever think they might live on a boat? SaltyPaws is a sailing acoustic duo, living aboard their catamaran, sailing and singing the Atlantic eastern seaboard. You'll hear guitar and 5 string banjo, spiced with harmonica and concertina. Wherever the boat is in port, you'll find Bentley and Jim joining a jam, at an open mic, or busking a street corner. ... more
