Key: E
Introduction:
E
Found myself in a barroom
Doin' things I ought not to
F#m
Watching life as it slowly passed me by
A
I was holding on to lovers
B7 E
And disregarding others with my lies
Living my whole life like this
F#m
Some folks say that I won't last too long
A
And I can't say that I blame them
For saying what they're saying
B7 E
'Cause right now I'm just holding on
A B7 E
I'm just an old dancehall dreamer
A B7 E
Living my life in the past
A B7 E C#m
Holding on to dreams and them slow moving trains
A B7 E
And I don't know how long I can last.
E
So I called out to Jesus
Said Lord I really need you
F#m
You've go to carry me for a while
A
I've been running too long
Singing these old tired songs
B7 E
As the wheels keep pouring out the miles
Like I said I'm just a dreamer
F#m
Someday things will go my way
A
I'm just running from the devil
I've got one foot on the pedal
B7 E
While the other is laid up in the grave
REPEAT CHORUS
A B7 E C#m
Holding on to dreams and them slow moving trains
A B7 E
And I don't know how long I can last.
REPEAT 1/2 INTRO
