Dream of my own |
LyricsCopyright © 2012 Jim Ferrie MusicI watched my daddy bring the harvest home For the last time last night I looked away packin' up my books and the things I own And I closed the door and dowsed the light I fixed my gaze over the prarie wide Just as the bus was pullin' in My breakin' heart got onboard to take this city ride And cast my mem'ries to the wind I got a chance to be the best of me I can't deny myself you see And my heart is playin' tug o' war with my weary head Coz you won't come along with me And it's been hard to choose as I listened to my muse sayin' Don't live in no-one else's dream And I think of you back home as I count another milestone To live a dream of my own, oh yeah Girl, I've gone a long way from home (that's where the heart is) To live a dream of my own I believe there's so much more of me to give If you could take me as I am I can't go back to the way it used to be back home Guess it ain't fittin' with my plan And now the voices echo round my head All biddin' me to come back home But I decided once and for all when I left the farm I gotta walk this road alone So pretty baby don't you wait for me Though it's not that I don't love you so Look away and look for a man that I once was To hold you tight and build your home Girl, I'm such a long way from home (home is where the heart is) Gotta live a dream of my own Gotta live a dream of my own.... |
