"I Wish I Could Have Been Along" lyrics

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

And I wish that I could have been along on the road
I wish that I could have been along

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 highs?

And I wish that I could have been along on the road
I wish that I could have been along

And were you ever lonely on the highway?
Did you ever taste the silence of despair?
And down on the journeys that you've ever gone
Did you find any love anywhere?

And I wish that I could have been along on the road
I wish that I could have been along

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?

And I wish that I could have been along on the road
I wish that I could have been along

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

And I wish that I could have been along on the road
I wish that I could have been along

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
And I wish that I could have been along on the road
I wish that I could have been along
