Drinkin' And Dreamin'

(album: Turn The Page - 1985)

Everybody's looking for some way in,
I'm looking for some way out.
I've been wasting my time standing 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.

Drinking and dreaming
Knowing 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 dreaming, 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 riding the wind.

Drinking and dreaming
Knowing 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 dreaming, a thousand miles out of my mind.

Drinking and dreaming
Knowing 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 dreaming, a thousand miles out of my mind.
