[D]
Everybody's looking for some way in, [G] I'm looking for some [D] way out.
I've been wasting my time standing in line, [A] if this is what it's [D] all about.
All I got is a job that I don't like, [G] and a woman that don't [D] understand.
So tonight at the bar I'm getting my cup, [A] and take off for the [D] promised land.
[A] [G] Drinking and dreaming, knowing damn well I [D] can't go.
[A] I'll never see Texas, L.A. or old [D] Mexico.
[A] [G] But here at this table, I'm able to leave it [D] behind.
[A] Drink till [D] I'm dreaming, [A] a thousand miles out of [D] my mind.
[A]
[D]
This suit and this tie is just a disguise, [G] this ain't really [D] me.
Some people are born to be tied down, [A] some people are born to [D] be free.
When I look down the road, she don't know [G] how it gets under [D] my skin.
She's got my body, but my heart and soul [A] are out there [D] riding the wind.
[A] [G] Drinking and dreaming, knowing damn well [D] I can't go.
[A] I'll never see Texas, L.A. or old Mexico.
