Drinkin' And Dreamin'
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Everybody's lookin' for some way in
I'm lookin' for some way out
I've been wastin' my time standin' in line
If this is what it's all about
All I got is a job that I don't like
And a woman that don't understand
So tonight at the bar I'll get in my car
And take off for the promise land
Drinkin' and dreamin', knowin' damn well I can't go
I'll never see Texas, L.A., or Old Mexico
But here at this table, I'm able to leave it behind
Drink 'til I'm dreamin', a thousand miles out of my mind
This suit and this tie, is just a disguise
This ain't really me
Some people are born to be tied down
Some people are born to be free
When I look down the road she don't know
How it gets under my skin
She's got my body but my heart and soul
Are out there ridin' the wind
Drinkin' and dreamin', knowin' damn well I can't go
I'll never see Texas, L.A., or Old Mexico
But here at this table, I'm able to leave it behind
Drink 'til I'm dreamin', a thousand miles out of my mind
Drinkin' and dreamin', knowin' damn well I can't go
I'll never see Texas, L.A., or Old Mexico
