I used to run my mouth any chance I could Done a lot of bad things I never thought I would Nobody ever taught me what was right and good Was a hard dreaming man I used to pawn anything I could get I had a Jansport and some cigarettes A young man they would soon forget Was a hard dreaming man Hard dreaming man I wanna tell you all the things I know But it's only what you see Hard dreaming man I gotta go any place I can go
Baby, tell me anything you want Sit right down at your restaurant 1260 plays my favorite song It's called "Hard Dreaming Man" And I used to sleep anywhere I could Done a lot of bad things I never thought I would Nobody ever taught me what was right and good Was a hard dreaming man Hard dreaming man I wanna tell you all the things I know But it's only what you see Hard dreaming man I gotta go any place I can go
