lyrics

Dreamin's Alright

Golden rings and guitar strings and half smoked cigarettes
The best surprise is no surprise at all
Makin' up lines that end in rhymes but never pay my debts
And I'm still robbin' Peter to pay Paul

Playin games an matchin names and wonderin where it gets me
Seldom further than the next hotel
Lonliness Night Train Express neither one forgets me
Tried to change my style but I'm known too well

Burnin all my bridges, I've got promises to keep
and if time won't let me sleep that won't surprise me
Dreamin's alright to keep the demons from your night
But I just let the road hypnotize me

Empty halls n empty walls n dog eared magazines
Time… and I ain't gettin' any younger
Time to go and change the show, drop the sadder scenes
Time to stop the hurt and stop the hunger

Burnin all my bridges, I've got promises to keep
and if time won't let me sleep that won't surprise me
Dreamin's alright to keep the demons from your night
But I just let the road hypnotize me

Golden rings and guitar strings and half smoked cigarettes......
