Somethin' To Believe In

(album: Beneath The Velvet Sun - 2000)

I've never been the one
Who had my head on straight
So I gave myself this job
Now I'm waiting at the gate
For my bag to be inspected

For some crazy reason
I am always suspected
Of smuggling something through
Like smoke or dope or airplane glue
The sergeant waves me through

And I know you've got something to believe in
Down deep inside your soul
Hey friend, don't you stop believing
In the dreams that you had
When you were just a lad

Bare down, take another town
And station by storm
Crank up the tunes beneath the full moon
And the Carolina corn
But don't let it pass you by

'Cause someday you'll wake up
Asking yourself why
You sat there at your desk
Sucking on a corporate breast
You turned out like the rest

And I know you've got something to believe in
Down deep inside your soul
Hey friend, don't you stop believing
In the dreams that you had
When you were just a lad

Hey you, check out the view
Winding down the one
Me and the miss sharing bliss
And soaking up the sun
And I feel like I've been resurrected

In my lifetime I have
Never felt protected
And loved like I do
When I am here with you
Only you

And I know you've got something to believe in
Down deep inside your desperate soul
Hey friend, don't you stop believing
In the dreams that you had
In the dreams that we all had
When you were just a lad
