He�s in love with a lonely loner
But he doesn't even really know her
But he thinks that her name is Mona
And she lives in South Dakota
And so he drives �cross Minnesota
In a little red Toyota
That he got as a long-term loaner
From a body shop in Winona
And when he gets to the door of Mona
She says: I don�t know you one iota
But still here�s what we�re gonna
Do is move to Arizona
Doesn�t everybody want a story to tell?
Doesn�t everybody hope that it works out all right?
Doesn�t everybody just want a wishing well
So they know they won�t be lonely tonight?
And so they move down to Sedona
Though he didn�t even really wanna
And he works selling off-brand soda
But he never quite meets his quota
So he stole a little Kub Kabota
And he overhauled the motor
Tried to sell it back to the owner
Who he caught making out with Mona
Doesn�t everybody want a story to tell?
Doesn�t everybody hope that it works out all right?
Doesn�t everybody just want a wishing well
So they know they won�t be lonely tonight?
So now he lives in a Conestoga
In a little town in Coloroda
And he lives off cheap Bologna
And a bottle of Catonia
But he�s finally got that story to tell
And, you know, he thinks that things finally worked out all right
And his given up his chance for that wishing well
Cause he knows he won�t be lonely tonight
