The Dreamer 03:33
I wear a uniform most of the day/ Got my name written on my shirt It ain't hard labour by any means/ Except gettin my feelings hurt At the end of the day when I punch out/ I take off that silly rag Put on my dancin shoes and pack a little courage/ In a brown paper bag The night is young/ The moon is high/ We're all dancin in a fog A wise man once told me every day must have it's dog A workin man may call me a lazy dreamer and thats fine I'm dreaming of a world where you'll be getting yours/ And I'll be gettin mine I got me a girl she got really long legs/ Her hair is just the same She'll smoke your dinner and never share/ In any of the blame She'll take you out and run you round/ To every God damn thrift shop in town Leave you down at the bottom of a well thats run dry/ Bad credit to your name

Sittin here drinkin, doin all kinds of thinkin, 'bout my pride that stingin and my ears are ringin, singin songs about you. And lately I've been cryin doin all kinds of lying, 'bout the stuff you've been buyin and how you're relyin on the day that I'm dyin, singin songs about you She's one of a kind, pretty girl blew my mind She's the ramblin daughter of a fisherman's son with a wino heart to boot She's takin me to see her daddy in his long white caddy, how lucky is that? He might call me his laddy, but he knows I'm batty, singin songs about you. And people see us walkin, dont they start squawkin, how I hear them talkin, they way they're mockin, them words I'm blockin, singin songs about you

Got My Pride 03:35
We've all got things to leave behind/ I've got my pride/ I do I do When the cards you're dealt ain't the winning kind/ I've got my pride/ I do I do Over and above I have found someone to love Bold beyond brave she loves me too She'd cut a country mile with the flashing of her smile She calms me down, drives me wild/ She makes a man out of this here child

My Story 03:26
8.
Baby says she loves me/ I dont know if she's teasin Try to buy her a ring/ There must be a reason She keeps sayin no/ Everytime I ask Might be my beard/ The drink or the smoke The way my belly shakes when I laugh at her jokes Whatever it is I'll probably throw this ring in the trash I've been kicked at, stepped on, high heeled, black and blue eyed. I've been run outta town by some men nearly twice my size If I ever have a son, I'm gonna look him in the eye and say Don't you go chasin those pretty little women, waste your poor young life away Haven't slept a night/ Since I met this gal Worryin 'bout how/ I'm gonna do her well Its been too long/ Still I remain I tried to run away/ The turnstiles broke I tried to catch a train/ Buddy thats no joke Now I'm just stuck here writin songs about trains

She's my sweet little downthing thing I only ever see her when I'm hiding my ring She's my sweet, she's my sweet little downtown thing Autumn sun, here she comes/ Walkin these streets/ All my old haunts Look away knowin it ain't right She sees the look thats in my eyes/ I'd be a fool to take a bite Now I'm gruntin and groanin til its safe enough to go outside Monday morning at the liquor store/ Tuesday afternoon knocking on her door Wednesday night I'm avoiding her street again Thursday Friday she's everywhere/ By Saturday night I just dont care Come Sunday morning I'm praying never see her again
