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
