Wishing Well
Small Town Sleeper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm getting used to falling on my face.
My whole existence is a race,
And I'm getting used to second place.
Now it's time for the story to unfold.
I re-live everything I've been told.
The only thing I have is what's inside.
I keep it in my pocket so I can Hide.
But I need luck.
Chorus:
So when I see a wishing well
Drop a penny what the hell.
Maybe this time I won't have to
Sell my soul for your sympathy.
Every time we go through this,
I look at you and you're who I miss.
Better write a script for a new scene.
Every time I try to feel my way,
I bleed mistakes so you say.
It seems that sleep is just a thought
Because in my dreams I'm waking up.
Now it's time for the story to unfold.
I re-live everything I've been told.
The only thing I have is what's inside.
I keep it in my pocket so I can hide.
Everyone wants to make a buck,
But I need luck.
Chorus:
So when I see a wishing well
Drop a penny what the hell.
Maybe this time I won't have to
Sell my soul for your sympathy.
Every time we go through this,
I look at you and you're who I miss.
Better write a script for a new scene
I need luck...
The lyrics to Small Town Sleeper's song "Wishing Well" are about a person who is struggling to find success and is constantly falling short. The opening line of "Everything moves at its own pace" suggests that the person is struggling to keep up with the demands of life. They are getting used to falling on their face but are also getting used to coming in second place. This line speaks to the person's resilience in the face of failure.
The singer then talks about how they re-live everything they have been told, suggesting that they are stuck in their ways and unable to break out of their routine. They keep their feelings to themselves, symbolized by the line "I keep it in my pocket so I can hide." The line "Everyone wants to make a buck, but I need luck" speaks to the person's struggle to find success and implies that they feel like they are relying on good luck to get ahead.
The chorus of "Wishing Well" suggests that the person believes in the power of wishes and that it's worth trying to change their luck by throwing a coin into a wishing well. The line "Maybe this time I won't have to sell my soul for your sympathy" suggests that the person feels like they have compromised their integrity in the past to get ahead. The last line of the chorus "Better write a script for a new scene" suggests that the person wants to take control of their life and create a new direction for themselves.

Brendon Willis thanks for the comment. After I’ve seen the lack of quality and spoken to 3 other families with similar experiences, I’d probably get a used Honda
Of Note: one of the biggest factors that would prevent me from doing this again, is the fact that no one can tell me if the cab is actually street legal for kids to ride in.
I’ve looked at federal regulations and talked to lawyers and no one can give me a straight answer.
The seat belts used in this cab build were the cheapest, Chinese built, belts and I’m not certain that they are anchored properly.
I’d also like to be transparent: I believe at the time that we purchased our cab, the owner had no clue about how these things were built. I’m not certain that she intentionally mislead us. I think she just didn’t know squat about her product and there was a serious lack of communication between, the owner, the manufacture, and the customer.
She has since sent us a “ Cease And Desist Letter” demanding that we remove this video and our blog post review. Um...that’s going to be a fat negative ghost rider.
So...that was a long winded answer to your question.
For my wife and I, knowing what we know now, we would have just gotten an older Honda Odyssey instead of a Cowtown sleeper.

Wow, this was a great review. A little bit of legal warning, (even though I'm not a lawyer), I would be careful about saying anything about "removing or cutting off any screws" in the cab. If you question the road worthiness and drivable safety for your children, and Godforbid if something were to happen, the Cowtown company could have a legal stance to say that you "tampered" with the structural viability of their product and you could potentially lose a lawsuit. I hate that you spent so much money on an inferior product. But publicly trashing the company, while announcing that you're starting your own sleeper cab company might seem a bit disingenuous....just saying.

Actually, I think they would be ok. He did not remove any screws he just cut of the protruding head. That in no way would affect the structural viability of the product. If anything, in the case of an accident where the protruding screws caused bodily harm, he might have a case! Also, they didn't trash the company, they actually showed the problems. So regardless if they announced they were starting their own company, they showed actual issues and didn't just trash them publically.

I'm glad you gave this review, I just changed my mind about getting one from them.

It would be nice to make it l title it wider double size

I just saw a comment from another unhappy customer. His experience was just as bad if not worse. We are not a fan of giving bad reviews but we thought people should know what they are getting into.

I'm so thankful you guys made this honest review! We purchased a sleeper with three seats from this company and this was one of the biggest sunk cost purchases ever made. I do not recommend buying from We Dream LLC dba Cowtown Sleepers. We researched for over a year different companies for seating and sleepers and found a handful of companies we considered doing business with. This company seemed to have the best price in comparison. However, looking back in hindsight, that is not the case. What you get for the price is nowhere near worth the cost and grief. We are military veterans and were under the impression that We Dream LLC dba Cowtown Sleepers was owned and operated by a military veteran and therefore a military veteran friendly company. This is not the case. The owner may have been in the military but she is not military nor veteran friendly. We are USAF combat veterans and she takes advantage of military veterans more than anything else. She claims to have a military veteran discount, but it is instead of the installation discount and is capped at $500 and if she gives it to you, she will add a line item of other miscellaneous expenses worth $500 that you have to pay. It is false advertising and there is no military veteran discount. She moves numbers around so you will always pay the same ripoff price. The owner was always confusing in emails. Anyways, what a terrible experience and waste of time and money. Our truck has been parked for so long since there is no back window and our truck was modified for this sleeper thing. There is so much damage to both our truck and the sleeper from their incompetence and neglect. When they installed the sleeper they didn't use the correct hardware, nor did they have any know how. They started trying to make holes in the frame but then changed their minds and left the frame damaged. We had a long drive back but not as long as yours. Halfway back, the sleeper slid into the cab and damaged both the truck and the sleeper paint. BY God's grace the sleeper didn't fly off the truck! God have mercy on us all. Right now everything is a mess, tons of water damage to sleeper and truck. No help from We Dream, nor Triad Fiberglass. Very sad and concerning since we are out money and now an operational truck.

franky cappeza thank you so much for your comment. If possible, I would really like to chat with you about this. We’ve spoken with several families that have similar complaints. When you have a chance, feel free to contact us at: thewrights@freedomcallingrv.com

Thanks for making this video. Definitely not going to purchase from CowTown now. You’d figure a custom cab company would be way more open to customer wants/needs....if you guys start your own company and focus on the quality, my family will be customers for sure. Good luck!
Freedom Calling
ShawnYuken thanks for your comment. We really wanted this to be a great experience. There was just so little information about the quality before we purchased. And as embarrassing as it was to waste so much money on this cab, we wanted to inform potential buyers so they know what they are really getting. We’ll keep you posted if we start our own cab extension venture! Thanks again for your comment!

I am looking for a cab extension for our crew cab 1 ton and was super excited about calling this company on Monday. Your video has made me pump the brakes. I am very curious what other cab extension companies you have found. I need seating for 5 kids in total!!
