C 
Everybody's looking for some way in, 
    F                      C 
I'm looking for some way out. 

I've been wasting my time, standing in line, 
   G                        C  
If this is what it's all about. 


C 
All I got is a job that I don't like, 
       F                       C 
And a woman that don't understand. 

So tonight at the bar, I'll get in my car, 
    G                         C 
And take off for the Promised Land. 


 

F                                                C    Cmaj7    C 
Drinkin' and dreamin', knowing damn well I can't go, 
     G                                 C    Cmaj7    C 
I'll never see Texas, L.A. or ol' Mexico. 
    F                                            C    Cmaj7    C 
But here at this table, I'm able to leave it behind. 
  G                                                 C    Cmaj7    C 
Drink till I'm dreamin', a thousand miles out of my mind.

C 
This suit and this tie, is just a disguise, 
F                 C 
This ain't really me. 

Some people are born to be tied down, 
     G                      C 
Some people are born to be free. 


C 
When I look down the road, she don't know, 
F                      C 
How it gets under my skin. 

She's got my body, but my heart and soul, 
    G                      C 
Are out there riding the wind. 


 

F                                                C    Cmaj7    C 
Drinkin' and dreamin', knowing damn well I can't go, 
     G                                C    Cmaj7    C 
I'll never see Texas, L.A. or ol' Mexico. 
    F                                           C    Cmaj7    C 
But here at this table, I'm able to leave it behind. 
  G                                                 C    Cmaj7    C 
Drink till I'm dreamin', a thousand miles out of my mind. 

 

F                                                C    Cmaj7    C 
Drinkin' and dreamin', knowing damn well I can't go, 
     G                                C    Cmaj7    C 
I'll never see Texas, L.A. or ol' Mexico. 
    F                                           C    Cmaj7    C 
But here at this table, I'm able to leave it behind. 
  G                                                 C    Cmaj7    C 
Drink till I'm dreamin', a thousand miles out of my mind.
