somethin' to believe in

i've never been the one

who had my head on straight

so i gave myself this job

now i'm waitin' at the gate

for my bag to be inspected

for some crazy reason

i am always suspected

of smugglin' somethin' through

like smoke or dope or airplane glue

the sergeant waves me through

and i know you've got something to believe in

down deep inside your soul

hey friend

don't you stop believin'

in the dreams that you had

when you were just a lad

bare down

take another town

and station by storm

crank up the tunes beneath the full moon

and the carolina corn

but don't let it pass you by

'cause someday you'll wake up

askin' yourself why

you sat there at your desk

suckin' on a corporate breast

you turned out like the rest

and i know you've got something to believe in

down deep inside your soul

hey friend

don't you stop believin'

in the dreams that you had

when you were just a lad

hey you

check out the view

winding down the one

me and the miss sharin' bliss

and soakin' up the sun

and i feel like i've been resurrected

in my lifetime i have

never felt protected

and loved like i do

when i am here with you

only you

and i know you've got something to believe in

down deep inside your desperate soul

hey friend

don't you stop believin'

in the dreams that you had

in the dreams that we all had

when you were just a lad
