Lyrics 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
