Canteen Full of Dreams

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I have stood my ground when I should have turned and run I watched my dreams melt away like ice cubes in the sun I fell in love with ladies that don't know I even exist Prayed to my savor and held a razor to my wrist I found myself in trouble and I lost myself in vain Busted in these honky-tonks and broke down in the rain I heard the sirens of confusion in the canyons of my mind Sentenced to eternity accused of killing time [Chorus] But Lord I guess I lasted longer than most folks thought I would Overworked and underpaid and so misunderstood I suffered from the burden of an excess of extremes But I made it through the desert with a canteen full of dreams [Verse 2] I spent my mind on music lost my soul inside a song Seems like people like me got nowhere to belong Others seem to know where they're bound and where they've been Well I felt like I was always on the outside lookin' in [Chorus] Lord I guess I lasted longer than most folks thought I would Overworked and underpaid and so misunderstood I suffered from the burden of an excess of extremes But I made it through the desert with a canteen full of dreams [Chorus] Lord I guess I lasted longer than most folks thought I would Overworked and underpaid and so misunderstood I suffered from the burden of an excess of extremes But I made it through the desert with a canteen full of dreams
