Packin In My Dreams

45 years behind me I’m startin', reachin’ for the dream I left my front porch crying Only tears of fear Then wiped my face To keep it crystal clear Your too old You’ll unfold They’ll laugh at your attempt Get back in the house! Cook a meal !! Don’t continue. Check the menu. The kids are needin’ ya now! Leave your dreams. Give it up. Hubby’s havin’ a cow. I had my dream evaluated Measured, tested, and weighed All the experts told me I really should have stayed… home on another cookin’ course! Well I’m not a cook or waiter So instead of changing all my dreams I traded in ‘the evaluator’ “neeeeeeeeeeeeeext!” that's my theme! Your to old So I’ve been told Yep they laughed at my every attempt Get back in the house Don’t continue Give it up Pack it in There’s nothing for ya here There’s no chance to win a grammy! Just relax and have a beer. My new dream evaluator looking up said “mama mia” Rubbed his chin and promptly asked “who gave you this idea??’ I gathered up my things Tried not to take a swing He blurted, “for goodness sakes!!” I’m only asking… I’m just saying … Looks like this is it… Think ya just caught your break I was told I was too old I was told to pack it in I was told to not continue I was told I’d never win I was told to get in the kitchen Good things can happen to those who clean! Today I’m packin’ for seven Yep I said “for seven”! My whole family shares my dream I traded-in my evaluator instead of packin’ in my dreams I’m not packin’ in my dreams I never did pack in my dream neeeeeeeeeeeeeext was my new theme!
