Livin' the Dream

(album: Southern Star - 2023)

Here come another morning sun
Ain't got a whole lot but I'm getting it done
I step out this cold world shouts
But don't nobody know what they're talking about
This ol' scene's on a slow lean
Am I the only one who knows I'm livin the dream
It ain't as hard as it seems

There's no phone line so I
Make conversation with the warm sunshine
I'm dim lit, nit picking on brand new tune with the same ol' lick
And it's blues, pinks, a half full drink, the house and the kitchen sink
I'm living the dream
It ain't as hard as it seems

Kinda feels like this whole thing's a smoke screen
But it don't owe me a doggone thing
I'm living the dream

When the lights glare I might stare
Sifting through the pictures of a nightmare
Freeze frame see page five for tickets to a tripped out brain
Hey third eye, ya covert spy, I figured out what now why
I'm living the dream
It ain't as hard as it seems

Kinda feels like this whole thing's a smoke screen
But it don't owe me a doggone thing
I'm living the dream

Good people, we assume good, whatever gonna happen gonna be what it should
Bad people, we assume bad, whatever gonna happen ain't forever gonna last
Maybe good people and bad people are all just mother loving people, people

Hold tight don't fight we can all get with it on a Saturday night
Like whatchu say, you wanna come play
We can do it like we did way back in the day
Just living the dream

Kinda feels like this whole thing's a smoke screen
But it don't owe me a doggone
