Balboa - Chris Thile

If I had one wish

We could see this picture card

It’s from a city park called Balboa

Ticket to 50 cents

There’s gardens and elephants

And buildings like they have in Spain

I wish I was on my way to Balboa

Sweet Balboa

I wanna meet the world

Boys if you just begun

In the harbor of the sun

Not the ultra zone of Julian

I wanna meet the world

Balboa folks are coming from all over

The Americans

So we can come from Julian

It’s only 40 miles between us and the world

Boys if you just begun

In the harbor of the sun

Not the ultra zone of Julian

Without the other hardlock minor suns

Stop picking apples now that the golds are gone

So what you say we put the baskets down boys

Lets hitch a ride to town boys

Lets hear the fountain poor

Lets hear the lions roar

Lets meet the world

Lets meet the world
