Drinkin And Dreamin

Waylon Jennings


Everybody?s lookin? for some way, 
I?m lookin? for some way out. 
I?ve been wastin? my time standin? alone 
If this is what it?s all about.

All 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 land. 

Drinkin? 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 mind.

This 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 free.

When 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? away.

Drinkin? 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 mind.

Drinkin? 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 mind.
