The Dream

leaning on the fender
of someone else's dream
am i really in here
or just pretending to be
not ready yet to wake up
please don't pinch me

the owner of the dream i think
looks at me and smiles
rust on my britches 
this dreams been here awhile
i glance at the odometer 
it's got a lot of miles

no wait, he's a dream salesman
asks if i'm here to buy
says this is one of the best of them
go ahead and kick the tires
i go ahead and kick the tires
this guy is not a liar

now i'm in my very own dream
spinning down the road
never really had a dream
i could call my very own
90 miles an hour
safely tucked in my bed at home

This is so original Mike. Being an old beat up truck myself I can relate.
