Sweet Dreams Songtext

von Tennessee Ernie Ford

Well this dog is a dog
And this walk is a hell of a walk
You see, me and the dog always seem to walk too far
Now this road is a road
And this house never leaves me alone
You see, me and the house never seem to get along

And the people I meet
They don't feed my desires
I never seem to believe my eyes

Sweet dreams when you go to bed, ooh
Is your daddy gonna climb into your head
Oh, oh, Well then you'll never be the same again
Oh no! Let your momma get you something for the pain
Yeah!

Well this hole is a hole
And I fell to the bottom I know
You see, me and the hole we don't feel the need to part

And the things that I've seen
Would make you want to cry
You see, I've never been to a place I like

Sweet dreams when you go to bed
Is your momma gonna climb into your head
Oh, oh, Well then you'll never be the same again
Oh no! Let your daddy get you something for the pain
Don't say this is paradise!

And the things that I've seen
Would make you want to sit down and cry
I've never been to a place I like
Don't say this is paradise!
Sweet dreams!

Sweet dreams when you go to bed, ooh
Is your daddy gonna climb into your little head
Oh, oh, Well then you'll never be the same again
Oh no! Let your momma get you something for the pain
Don't say this is paradise!

Don't say this is paradise
Don't say this is paradise
Don't say this is paradise
Don't say this is paradise
This ain't your sweet dreams
Oh no, sweet dreams!
