Backed the wrong man it is a long walk back to reality
*Sheriff finds me asleep in a car* *Lost on a side road darken by fallen dreams* ****** Dance in the mind of sand Keep faith in the band of land Scream at shadow dream Deal the feel of a sad sandman **** Kitten left me to see every child Sun looks to see me reaching a new low **** Dreams are kept in the bottle by the bed Pick a tick on a strum in old ten Voice melted with guitar whiskey belted Black as black played and stayed with me **** Country old danced the floor with swing door Stings ring and almost sing me to sleep **** If you lose the ideal where do you look For the hope of daydreams to reach Tipped my hat and that was that You said melody born in air dead **** We talked music until you cried Watched my hero fall last call Drink to sober fool it turns to be you Placed the guitar in the case not to be opened again **** Walked the lonesome road to responsibility**
