I had a dream that we were comin' down
We were comin' down
But you were too strung out to see it
I had a dream that we wore golden crowns and purple gowns
We ruled a suburban kingdom
I had a dream that we were settled down in a normal town
We were absolutely ordinary
I had a dream we owned a big old house n' gigantic frowns
It was actually kinda scary
But I'm the man of my dreams when I'm dreamin'
At least that's how it seems to be seemin'
During those six short hours between working n' drinking,
Working n' drinking,
Working n' drinking
I had a dream that we were hiccup trunk in a pickup truck
I had a dream that we were singing songs they were slow and long
We sang them all with Ricky Susa
I had a dream that we were selling out to get
Cash and clout and ending up in all the movies
I had a dream that we could twist and shout and break it down
But we'd forgotten what was groovy
But I'm the man of my dreams when I'm dreamin'
At least that's how it seems to be seemin'
During those six short hours between working n' drinking
Oh baby, working n' drinking
Oh baby working n' drinking
Oh honey working n' drinking
But I've only got one match left to light two cigarettes
On those three ten minute breaks I just know I ain't ever gonna get
But I'll take life on the chin long as I got jack n' Jim,
This here guitar,
N' all my wonderful holiday friends
