Drinkin' and Dreamin' Songtext

von Waylon Jennings

Everybody? s lookin? for some way in,
I? m lookin? for some way out.
I? ve been wastin? my time standin? 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 promise land.

Drinkin? and dreamin?
Knowin? damn well I can? t go.
I? ll never see Texas, L.A., or Old Mexico.
But here at this table, I? m able to leave it behind.
Drink? til I? m dreamin?, a thousand miles out of my mind.

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 ridin? the wind.

Drinkin? and dreamin?
Knowin? damn well I can? t go.
I? ll never see Texas, L.A., or Old Mexico.
But here at this table, I? m able to leave it behind.
Drink? til I? m dreamin?, a thousand miles out of my mind.

Drinkin? and dreamin?
Knowin? damn well I can? t go.
I? ll never see Texas, L.A., or Old Mexico.
But here at this table, I? m able to leave it behind.
Drink? til I? m dreamin?, a thousand miles out of my mind.
