Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sometimes I sit in my backyard I kick back and drink iced tea I stare all the way to the ocean And I dream of how it would be If I were a ship captain somewhere Or an old fashioned sailor at sea Or a stowed away pirate just down below hiding And praying the law don't find me [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I'd sail from Nantucket Chasing the great white whale Oh without a sound, I'd run him aground And bring old Ahab the tail Yeah I'd show old Ahab his tail [Chorus] Yeah, but I'm not a sailor, I'm just a man Stuck here in the promised land Well, I'm living proud and I'm living free And I'm a dreamer and it's all I got Yeah, but friends, this is my last shot And I hope someday You drеam about me [Verse 2] Sometimes I drеam I'm a cowboy Around 1949 I'd cross the border on horseback With a real close buddy of mine I'd know we'd run from trouble But then I'm sure it's what we'd find 'Cause when you're out of the frying pan into the fire Who cares what you leave behind [Pre-Chorus] And I know I'd fall in love down there Well I bet I would wind up in jail 'Cause when you're fallin' in love with a rich man's daughter Who's gonna go your bail Yeah I hate them Mexican jails [Chorus] Yeah, but I'm not an outlaw, I'm just a man Stuck here in the promised land Well, I'm living proud and I'm living free And I'm a dreamer and it's all I got Yeah, but friends, this is my last shot And I hope someday You dream about me [Verse 3] See, I'd love to go rafting the water I'd take a ride on the mighty Mississipp' Where I could float around from town to town I'd cause trouble then I'd give 'em the slip [Pre-Chorus] That river could take me back To the days of young Huck Finn Where I could sleep all day and I'd smoke all night And play tricks on old Jim Oh man, I bet I'd like old Jim (Yeah, I bet I would) [Chorus] Yeah, but I'm not an runaway, I'm just a man Stuck here in the promised land Well, I'm living proud and I'm living free And I'm a dreamer and it's all I got Yeah, but friends, this is my last shot And I hope someday You dream about me Hey, I hope one day You read about me [Hook] Sometimes I sit in my backyard I dream of how it would be One, two, three, uh! [Verse 4] See, I'd love to go rafting the water I'd take a ride on the mighty Mississipp' I'd float around from town to town I'd cause trouble then I'd give 'em the slip [Pre-Chorus] And that river would take me back To the days of young Huck Finn So I could sleep all day and I'd smoke all night And play tricks on old Jim Oh man, I bet I'd like old Jim (Yeah) [Chorus] I'm not an runaway, I'm just a man I'm stuck here in the promised land Where I'm living proud and I'm living free Well, I'm a dreamer and it's all I got Oh, so friends, this is my last shot And man I hope someday You dream about me
