Nothing To Do But Dream

The sun's too bright

And the mountains are too far

And there's nowhere in town

I can get to in my broken car

I've got nowhere to go but to sleep

I would shut my eyes but I've got promises to keep

I can't go crazy and I can't get sane

And I don't want to leave-I'd just have to come back again

I've got nowhere to go but to sleep...

I remember, I remember something about who we were

I remember, I remember something about who we could be

I've had nothing to do for years but dream

I got reckless

And I broke my baby's rule

And I'm sick and restless

With the wandering blues

Cause most of my friends are gone down the line

And I'm sitting in town on the proceeds of my crimes

I've got nowhere to go but to sleep...

I took my sister to the river and I came back alone

And this sickness that's on me is settling in my bones

And my Daddy is suspicious but I know how he does

He won't find out about it till she's safe down in the mud

With nowhere to go but to sleep

I would follower her down but I've got promises to keep

I remember, I remember something about who we were

I remember, I remember something about who we could be

I've had nothing to do for years but dream
