Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can dream in a field, I can dream in a dive bar
Dream in a rusted-out truck down in Wichita
Dream in a cow pasture, cemetery, dollar store
Dream in a big city and in a civil war
I can dream all day, and I can go all night
[Verse 2]
Well, I can dream in a honky tonk and in a leaky tent
Dream away the madness seepin' through the internet
Dream about horses, fallin' dominoes
Dream about a blackjack table up in Buffalo
Dream up and down and side to side
[Chorus]
Don't wake me up, I ain't up for that
The way this world is goin' ain't where I'm at
And sooner or later, we'll all be dead
And I'd rather be livin' up in my head
So don't wake me up, I ain't up for that
[Verse 3]
I can dream in a factory and in the liquor store
Dream in a bowling alley laid out on the floor
Dream at the Claremont Lounge in Atlanta
Dream at a graveyard down in Savannah
I can dream with my eyes closed or open wide
[Verse 4]
Well, I can dream in a trailer park or in a subdivision
Dream away the politician screamin' on the television
Dream at a Waffle House in Kentucky
Dreamin' up bad luck even when I'm lucky
I can dream in color and black and white
[Chorus]
Don't wake me up, I ain't up for that
The way this world is goin' ain't where I'm at
And sooner or later, we'll all be dead
And I'd rather be livin' up in my head
So don't wake me up, I ain't up for that
Tell 'em, boys
[Verse 5]
I can dream in a snowstorm stuck out in Bozeman
Dream in the drunk tank even while I'm buzzin'
Dream in a cantina, rodeo, music hall
Dream in a truck stop, Midwest strip mall
I can dream inside-out and backwards too
[Verse 6]
Well, I can dream in French, I can dream in Spanish
I can dream with the subtitles on in Japannish
Dream in a dojo somewhere down in Tokyo
A two-star sushi bar, listenin' to the radio
I can dream in a subway car at the end of the line
[Chorus]
Don't wake me up, I ain't up for that
The way this world is goin' ain't where I'm at
And sooner or later, we'll all be dead
And I'd rather be livin' up in my head
So don't wake me up, I ain't up for that
Don't wake me up, ain't up for that
[Outro]
Ain't up for that
Ain't up for that
Wake me up
