Darden Smith - A Dream's a Dream lyrics

I moved a little closer to the center of town And the friends I had there don't seem to come around I gave up drinking and I gave up the smokes And I started running with a different kind of folks It seems about a year ago I reached the age I figured I'd better get going, better turn a page So I shook a little dust off a thirty year shoe And I reckon I bit off a little more than I could chew Now I know that a dream, it's just a dream A kiss is just a kiss Don't know what I was hoping for All I can say is that I knew what I was doing I'd do it all over I knew what I was doing, and I'd do it all over I knew what I was doing, I'd do it all over again A man's got to feel like a man in his prime Or he's just another chump marking time That old bird in the hand I appreciate But the bird in the bush man don't it feel great Late night phone lines Leave a paper trail You say "Oh, that ain't the kind of stuff for me" Well listen here buddy, you never can tell 'Cause now I know that a dream, it's just a dream A kiss is just a kiss I guess I was hoping for Anything but this Oh, anything but this Father, Father forgive my sins You see I knew what I was doing, and I'd do it all over Say I knew what I was doing, I'd do it all over again Knew what I was doing, and I'd do it all over I knew what I was doing, and I'd do it all over Say I knew what I was doing, I'd do it all over again I come back to this place at night I maybe eat a little dinner and I turn out the lights Sit in the dark and I watch t.v. I don't think about nothing, you know what I mean Oh, years from now when I think of you I'll say a dream is just a dream And I'll always remember the night my dreams came true All my dreams came true Now I know that a dream, it's just a dream A kiss is just a kiss Don't know what I was hoping for All I can say is that I knew what I was doing, I'd do it all over I knew what I was doing, and I'd do it all over Say I knew what I was doing, I'd do it all over again Oh, I knew what I was doing, and I'd do it all over Say I knew what I was doing, and I'd do it all over I knew what I was doing, and I'd do it all over again
