Sometimes I imagine myself as a drifter
Seeker of fortunes, connoisseur of great wines
Dashing through meadows of yellow and green
Trying to catch the impossible dream
Leaving the straight life b-e-h-i-n-d
Sometimes my thoughts may find me in Mexico
Drinking tequila, going out of my mind
Having a ball on a couple of bob
Treating the ladies to corn on the cob
Leaving the straight life b-e-h-i-n-d
Suddenly all my silly thoughts disappear
She comes to me softly with crackers and beer
Winking and blinking and blowing my ear, running away with my m-i-n-d
It's great to be in love, I'm not really thinking of
Leaving the straight life behind, I'm just playing a game in my mind
Do Do Do Do (do do do do) Do Do Do Do ( do do do ) etc.
Once in a while in my mind I go a - b u m m i n?
Going to nowhere with no worry of time
Running along chasing after a train
Humming a song in the sun and the rain
Leaving the straight life b-e-h-i-n-d
I can just see me on a tropical island
Riding the surf and drinking coconut wine
Having me fun with golden girls in the sand
Chasing the sun through an innocent land
Leaving the straight life b-e-h-i-n-d
Repeat Chorus and fade
