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