Everybody's looking for some way in,
I'm looking for some way out.
I've been wasting my time, standing in line,
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 Promised Land.
Drinkin' and dreamin', knowing damn well I can't go,
I'll never see Texas, L.A. or ol' Mexico.
But here at this table, I'm able to leave it behind.
Drink till I'm dreamin', a thousand miles out of my mind.
*break *
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 riding the wind.
Drinkin' and dreamin', knowing damn well I can't go,
I'll never see Texas, L.A. or ol' Mexico.
But here at this table, I'm able to leave it behind.
Drink till I'm dreamin', a thousand miles out of my mind.
Drinkin' and dreamin', knowing damn well I can't go,
I'll never see Texas, L.A. or ol' Mexico.
But here at this table, I'm able to leave it behind.
Drink till I'm dreamin', a thousand miles out of my mind.
