Standard (EADGBE)

Everybody's looking for some way in,

I'm looking for some way out.

I've been wasting my time, standing in line,

If this is what it's all about.

All I got is a job that I don't like,

And a woman that don't understand.

So tonight at the bar, I'll get in my car,

And take off for the Promised Land.

*Chorus*

Drinkin' and dreamin', knowing damn well I can't go,

I'll never see Texas, L.A. or ol' Mexico.

But here at this table, I'm able to leave it behind.

Drink till I'm dreamin', a thousand miles out of my mind.

*break*

This suit and this tie, is just a disguise,

This ain't really me.

Some people are born to be tied down,

Some people are born to be free.

When I look down the road, she don't know,

How it gets under my skin.

She's got my body, but my heart and soul,

Are out there riding the wind.

*Chorus*

Drinkin' and dreamin', knowing damn well I can't go,

I'll never see Texas, L.A. or ol' Mexico.

But here at this table, I'm able to leave it behind.

Drink till I'm dreamin', a thousand miles out of my mind.

*Chorus*

Drinkin' and dreamin', knowing damn well I can't go,

I'll never see Texas, L.A. or ol' Mexico.

But here at this table, I'm able to leave it behind.

Drink till I'm dreamin', a thousand miles out of my mind.
