Dancehall Dreamer Songtext
(Pat Green)
Found myself in a barroom
Doin' things I ought not to
Watching my life as it slowly passed me by
I was holding on to lovers
And disregarding others with my lies
Living my whole life like this
I guess is risky business
Some folks say that I won't last too long
And I can't say I blame them
For saying what they're saying
'Cause right now I'm just holding on
Chorus
I'm just an old dancehall dreamer
Living my life in the past
Holding on to dreams and them slow moving trains
And I don't know how long I can last
So I called out to Jesus
Said Lord I really need you
You've got to carry me for a while
I've been running too long
Singing these old tired songs
As the wheels keep turning out the miles
Like I said I'm just a dreamer
But I've gotta' keep believing
Someday things will go my way
I'm just running from the devil
I've got one foot on the pedal
While the other one is laid up in the grave
Chorus
