Never thought I d feel this way. I wanted to believe. The Founders are turning in their graves. At what we've come to be. Tactics that destroy our freedom.
My alarm clock in the trash can. At three a.m. last night. I don't need no wake-up call. 'Cause I can't close my eyes. When I do you're all I see and all I dream about.
Rising to the challenge is the first step that you take. Are you a free spirit or a slave?. Are the institutions that have molded our minds. Pushing an agenda filled with lies?.
I start dreaming, driving home. About having you alone. I know that you'll be there for me. But in my favorite fantasy, you won't be. . Across the street,across the room a step away.
You wonder what we have. Will our love start getting old?. Well maybe when the ocean's dry. Or when the sun turns cold. . Baby, that's the kind of love you're in.
I'm talkin' about dreams. Big as a the Texas sky. So big that they're hard to believe. Oh, I'm talkin' about dreams. . I'm talkin' about free. To know that I'm not chained in.
Well now I never went to college babe. I did not have the luck. I rolled out of Indiana in the back of a. Pickup truck. With no education higher. Than the streets of my hometown.
Promises hung out on the line. Sparkle and shine in the daylight. Promises and little vows unspoken. All too soon lie broken in the arms of the night.
The autumn leaves they rush outside my window. Like they've got something so important they must do. Sara will be home now any minute. She likes her third grade teacher and looks so much like you.
I've been wrong and I let her down. Either gone or just not around. And I was wrong when I said I'd change. 'Cause all I ever changed was her name. . This morning I tasted doubt.
She was a waitress down in New Orleans. She had a broken past. He worked the oil rigs over in Corpus. Out on a weekend pass. . He sat down at the end of the counter.
Cotton balls between your toes, they're all lined up in a row. As you're paintin' your nails at breakfast time. It's the way you drink your juice. It's mesmerizin', it's no use that I.
Bell ringing cause time on us. Its last orders from now. . Life flashing a warning sign. Its our last night in this town. . False dawn in the morning.
Im sitting here watching nothing. I start to drift away (drift away, drift away). Thinking about the future, though my clouds are grey. . A cigaret and some chocolate.
Bright eyes, where do you wander on this dark night. So long til dawn, no longer uptight. No need to worry for a while. . Angel eyes, why do you leave me when its just right.
Why can't I?. . G.I. Joe moved to Mexico, he's hiding from the IRS. Wearing diamond rings and livin' like a king at an undisclosed address. Superman flew to Japan gave up fightin' crime.
Things are too simple, things are too hard. Nobody's happy with the way things are. Looking for the quick fix, the short term loan. . Got to rent 'cause you might not be here long enough to own.
She loves to love me. I love it when she does. When we get together. I feel a bit corrupt. . When she feels the yearnin'. Then I just let her go. And we're off to somewhere.
Colorado's just too cold. You see, I'm a gulf coast boy by heart. It's in my blood where I left my soul. The pain all started way back when. . I lost faith in us again, pulled up my roots.
Billy's standing out by a west Texas highway. With his thumb in the morning air. He's spent 18 summers in the dust of Odessa. Never getting nowhere. .
