Found myself in a bar room Doing things I ought not to Watching life as it slowly passed me by I was holding on to lovers and discarding other with my lying Living my whole life like this I guess is risky business Some folks say that I wont last too long I cant say I blame them, for saying what they're saying Right now Im just holding on
Now Im just an old dancehall dreamer Living my life in the past I keep holding on to dreams and them slow moving trains I dont know how long I can last
So I called out to Jesus Said Lord I really need ya You've gotta carry me for a while Ive been running too long Singing these old tired songs As the wheels keep turning out the miles Like I said Im just a dreamer Ive gotta keep believing That some day things will go my way Just running from the devil Ive got one foot on the pedal The other ones laid up in the grave
