Living The Dream

The dream is a paycheck at the end of the week

Waitin' tables, makin' small talk out back on your break

The dream is a one bedroom walk-up apartment

Cheap Christmas lights out on the fire escape

Oh, the one thing I've learned is that the world keeps on spinnin'

Love's the only thing that makes it go 'round

I've given it all with the time I've been given

I'm out here livin'

Ain't we all just livin'?

The dream is a cigarette out the car window

After he tells you you ain't what he wants

The dream is a ride home, can't say you didn't try

But those stars in L.A. ain't as bright as you thought

Oh, the one thing I've learned is that the world keeps on spinnin'

Love's the only thing that makes it go 'round

I've given it all with the time I've been given

I'm out here livin'

Ain't we all just livin'?

Oh, the dream

Baby, those wings

Ain't the only way to fly

Ain't the only way to cry

Ain't the only way you'll ever get

You'll ever get high

Oh, the one thing I've learned is that the world keeps on spinnin'

Love's the only thing that makes it go 'round

I've given it all with the time I've been given

Years down to days down to even a minute

The heartaches, the big breaks

The wrong turns, the mistakes

That lead to the laugh lines

The highlights, the blessings

I'm out here livin'

Ain't we all down here livin'

The dream?

Livin' the dream

I'm livin' the dream

Just livin' the dream
