Dancehall Dreamer

(album: Dancehall Dreamer - 1995)

I found myself in bar room
Doing the things I ought not to
Watching life as it slowly passed me by
I was holding onto lovers
And disregarding others with my lies
Living my whole life like this
I guess its risky business
Some folks say that I won't last too long
And I can't say I blame them
For saying what their saying
'Cause right now I'm just holding on

I'm just an old Dancehall Dreamer
Living my life in the past
Holding onto dreams and them slow moving trains
And I don't know how long I can last

So I called out to Jesus
Said Lord I really need you
You've got to carry me for a while
I've been running too long
Singing them old tired songs
As wheels keep on turning out the miles

Like I said I'm just a dreamer
Got to keep believing someday things will go my way
I'm just running from the devil
Got one foot on the pedal
While the other's laid up in the grave

I'm just an old Dancehall Dreamer
Living my life in the past
Holding onto dreams and them slow moving trains
And I don't know how long I can last
