Drinkin' and Dreamin'

Waylon Jennings

Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:







Everybody's lookin' for some way in
I'm lookin' for some way out
I've been wastin' my time standin' in line
If this is what it's all aboutAll 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 landDrinkin' and dreamin', knowin' 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 dreamin', a thousand miles out of my mindThis 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 freeWhen 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 ridin' the windDrinkin' and dreamin', knowin' 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 dreamin', a thousand miles out of my mindDrinkin' and dreamin', knowin' damn well I can't go
I'll never see Texas, L.A. or Old Mexico
