My Dream
I have a dream I could quit drifting around
and I could take up a wife and settle down
Together we’d buy us a small piece of ground
a place we could share and let our love abound
We’d sit on the porch and smell the wildflowers
that float upon the breeze after spring showers
Hold hands and gaze at the sunrise for hours
all the happiness in the world would be ours
We could walk side by side while time drifted by
watching the clouds moving across the blue sky
Could raise our children and watch while they try
to grow to be adults right before our eyes
That’s this old cowboy’s dream that will never be
the life I’ve always known is on the prairie
M fate is to wander ever endlessly
I’m afraid it’s too late to ever change me
