Dreamin' In The Country

(álbum: Thirds - 1971)

Sitting here, thinking 'bout the fix I'm in
Ain't no time to write a line, is it ever gonna end?
Spent my whole morning at the corner store
Just a-smoking and a-joking with the kid next door
Getting aggravated 'cause my mind's gone dead
Think I'll have a little drink and then just jump right into bed

Riding down the street in a big ol' Cadillac
Seems to me that yesterday is at least a mile back
Having such a good time, having so much fun
Just a-dancing and a-drinking, probably never get done
Then all at once I hear a ringing in my ears
Guess it must've been a dream 'cause I'm still right here

Come one day, I'll be leaving this old country town
Come one day, I'll be heading for the city
Having fun and drinking some, everything's gonna work out fine
One day I'll come back again, if I get the time

Eating maple candy underneath the maple tree
Just a-sitting in the shade thinking what I wanna be
Maybe some day I'll be a movie star
Kissing pretty girls and driving fancy cars
Then everybody's gonna be so proud of me
Say they knew it all along, just you wait and see

Sitting here, thinking 'bout the fix I'm in
Ain't no time to write a line, is it ever gonna end?
Spent my whole morning at the corner store
Just a-smoking and a-joking with the kid next door
Getting aggravated 'cause my mind's gone dead
Think I'll have a little drink and then just jump right into bed
