Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The highway was teasin' me
With promises and visions
Of a country unseen
In a black limousine
For the better part of my twenties
On the corner of this dirty street
A decade in the makin'
Just a loser on two tender feet
[Verse 2]
Sayin' dreams come true
Dreams come true
Dreams come true
Dreams come true
[Verse 3]
She wasn't havin' anything
No birds or any bees, girl
Don't go shootin' all your dogs down
Just 'cause one's got fleas
I'll bite what turns you sour, baby
I got miles per hour, lady
Make up your mind
You never know what you might find
[Verse 4]
When dreams come true
Dreams come true
Yes, they do
Dreams come true
Dreams come true
Dreams come true
Yes, they do
Dreams come true
[Verse 5]
Punch the clock, baby, on the nightstand
Close your eyes, waitin' for the Sandman
Spend your life bracin' for the crash land
You forget, baby, it's a dreamland
Baby, it's a dreamland
[Verse 6]
Natural believer
I don't carry any bones
If you see things a little different
I'm not castin' any stones
Been takin' it for granted
I got the right to speak my mind
I'll overcome the dark
Just like the dead, the lame
The leper, and the blind man
Like Lazarus or the mother of Peter's wife
[Verse 7]
Punch the clock, baby, on the nightstand
You close your eyes waitin' for the Sandman
Spend your life bracin' for the crash land
You forget, baby, it's a dreamland
Take a chance underneath the streetlight
Touch my heart, everything is alright
[Verse 8]
Don't waste my time
On, "Where do I park the car?"
I don't stand in line
It's treated me alright so far
If dreams come true
I get to drink the cup
But one fine day
We'll find a better way
(Gonna have a lot to say)
[Verse 9]
Punch the clock, baby, on the nightstand
You close your eyes waitin' for the Sandman
Spend your life bracin' for the crash land
You forget, baby, it's a dreamland
Take a chance underneath the streetlight
Touch my heart, everything is alright
[Verse 10]
In the blackness of the night
Everything is alright
Whoa oh, hey oh, hey oh, whoa oh, hey oh
Whoa oh, hey oh, hey oh, whoa oh, hey oh
Whoa oh, hey oh, hey oh, whoa oh, hey oh
Whoa oh, hey oh, hey oh, whoa oh, hey oh
