Story Behind The Song
I had been speaking with Mick about doing a collab in the studio...This song came about. I'm playing drums on this track (so, it's not perfect..) It was the best take we had for it. Kinda gives it a sloppy 60's feel and vibe.
Song Description
Of course we're always wanting to expose the John and Paul side of ourselves...This song shows that middle to late 60's influence. Plus, as a lyricist I was thing "positive messsage" again. And, what would John Lennon want to say now..type of lyric approach.. Musically, we wanted to be light.

Lyrics
Wishin? And Hopin?
Sun is shining. Paper skies
Swimming swallow. Dragon Flies
New companion, real fine
Country fields. Sweet wine.
Over easy Big Wheel
Psychedelic. Cop a feel.
Faster fally. Sticky side.
Tonic tricky. Rawhide.
Chorus:
Wishin? and a hopin? you?d come back to me
Wishin? and hopin? someday you?d see.
Sun is shinin?. Paper skies.
Ziggy zaggin?. Sore eyes.
Over easy Big Wheel.
Psychedelic. Cop a feel.
Chorus II
Anthem Chorus I
Everyone just try to do the very best you can while you?re here (repeat)
Alright
