Tony Lucca - Around the Bend lyrics

She said how did you become so hard to handle? Holding on to something you can't see You spray paint your love songs like a vandal I said, I that's how I let my lovers get the best of me See it's one more night, Another drink to drown this stage-fright I'll play one more song and I'll feel so much better And I'll say thanks for coming, yeah, it's best that I get running If she wants to come along, I might just let her You see there's always another dream around the bend If I can't play for keeps, I'll have to play pretend Carry on for that next dream just around the bend, Listening for the next song I can call my friend As this old car careens, I'm heading for those sweet dreams around the bend She said it's time you started thinking 'bout forever, Make an honest woman of that girl I said it ain't like she said boy it's now or never, Who am I to bring a child into this world? To watch me play another show, With twenty-five more towns to go, While the encore keeps him up on past his bedtime As my lady goes crazy just to keep from getting lazy While she does her best to hold onto this heart of mine You see there's always another dream around the bend If I can't play for keeps, I guess I'll play pretend And carry on till that next dream comes around the bend, Listening for the love song that might bring me to the end As this old car careens, I'm heading for those sweet dreams around the bend Yeah, to the bitter end, yeah You see it's one more night Another shot might make things all right I'll play one more song and I'll be feeling fine And I'll head for the back door, Knowing I could have given so much more, As someone whispers hey, you'll get em next time There's always next time Cause there's always another dream around the bend I never play for keeps, I only play pretend Carry on for that next dream just around the bend, Listening for a love song that might bring me to my end Yeah there's always another dream around the bend If I can't play for keeps, I guess I'll play pretend As this old car careens, I'm heading for those sweet dreams On up around the bend On up around the bend
