Livin' Too Close To The Dream (Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

(album: Western White Pines - 2023)

Oh, I've been smoking a little bit
Trying to get a grip
On my life
One might say I'm flying close to the sun

Oh, I've been living in my regret including these cigarettes
Man, I ain't kicked 'em yet
But a life worth living has gotta 'lil fun

But, I stayed up all night singing my songs again
Raising hell with all my rowdy friends
So, smoke 'em if you got 'em, boys
Yeah, the drinks they're on me
Yeah, I'll be
Cussing and fighting
I'll be singing and writing
I'll be living and dying
Just a little too close to the dream

My mom would be belting me
Try to beat the devil out of me
If she saw the sin
I know I'd deserve it
So, I, I'd take it on the chin

But I love Honky Tonking, man
And when it gets rocking it's right on the money, honey
And we'll get the crowd screaming
Like a bag full of demons
And we'll be on the road again

And, I stayed up all night singing my songs again
Raising hell with all my rowdy friends
So, smoke 'em if you got 'em, boys
Yeah, the drinks they're on me
Yeah, I'll be
Cussing and fighting
I'll be singing and writing
I'll be living and dying
Just a little too close to the dream

But I stayed up all night singing my songs again
Raising hell with all my rowdy friends
So, smoke 'emif you got 'em, boys
Yeah, the drinks they're on me
Yeah, I'll be
Cussing and fighting
I'll be singing and writing
I'll be living and dying
Just a little too close to the dream
