Drunken Dreamer
Troubled dreamer always singing the blues Your mama's eyes in your daddy's shoes Maybe you never should have moved so far from Tennessee Haunted by drugs and sweet tea Dapper dreamer with your vintage looks Horn-rimmed glasses and your history books You told us the ways of truckers and the trains The desolate son of a famous man Slippin' down the hill again Slidin' down low again Drunken dreamer with a bloody nose Lost in the sadness of the songs that you wrote It's a pit that we all peer into sometimes And try to back away real slow Tragic dreamer always said you would go Angels calling your star-crossed soul Every needle in the haystack, every motel on the road You said it yourself, you'd never win Slippin' down the hill again Slidin' down low again Letras de cancionesYou were chasing down that dreamer's high The fickle love of the sweet spotlight I know what that's like I know what that's like You warned us all a hundred times You'd drown or lose or give up your fight Well, godspeed, my friend Godspeed tonight Broken dreamer, stagger on the stage Call up your wife and get clean again It seemed like you'd finally beaten that game When Nashville's hopelessness called your name Blue-eyed dreamer fell one last time The lonely shadows of an August night I hope you found peace, freedom at last From all the troubles you had Slippin' down the hill again Slidin' down low again Slippin' down the hill again Slidin' down low again From Letras Mania
